Behold, I shall send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a report, and shall return to his own land; and I will overthrow him with the sword in his own land.

Because you were angry against Me, and your fierceness has come up into My ears, therefore will I put My hooks in your nostrils, and My bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way in which you came.

By the way in which he comes, by it shall he return, and he shall not enter into this city, says the Lord.

Out of that land he came to Assyria, and built Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth Ir, and Calah,

Rise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and preach in it according to the former preaching which I spoke to you of.

And Jonah began to enter into the city about a day's journey, and he preached, and said, Yet three days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.

And the word reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from off his throne, and took off his robe, and put on sackcloth, and sat on ashes.

And as for Nineveh, her waters shall be as a pool of water: and they fled, and stood not, and there was none to look back.

The men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation and shall condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater [than] Jonah [is] here.
