1. A message came to Jonah from the Lord a second time. He said,
2. "Go to the great city of Nineveh. Announce to its people the message I give you."
3. Jonah obeyed the Lord. He went to Nineveh. It was a very important city. In fact, it took about three days to see all of it.
4. On the first day, Jonah started into the city. He announced, "In 40 days Nineveh will be destroyed."
5. The people of Nineveh believed God's warning. They decided not to eat any food for a while. All of them put on black clothes. That's what everyone from the least important of them to the most important did.
