Biblical Studies Press, 2005) ### The People of Nineveh Respond to Jonah’s Warning [[#Verse 01.]] The Lord’s message came to Jonah a second time,  [[#Verse 02.]] “Go immediately to Nineveh, that large city, and proclaim to it the message that I tell you.”  [[#Verse 03.]] So Jonah went immediately to Nineveh, in keeping with the Lord’s message. Now Nineveh was an enormous city—it required three days to walk through it!  [[#Verse 04.]] Jonah began to enter the city by going one day’s walk, announcing, “At the end of forty days, Nineveh will be overthrown!” [[#Verse 05.]] The people of Nineveh believed in God, and they declared a fast and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least of them.  [[#Verse 06.]] When the news reached the king of Nineveh, he got up from his throne, took off his royal robe, put on sackcloth, and sat on ashes.  [[#Verse 07.]] He issued a proclamation and said, “In Nineveh, by the decree of the king and his nobles: No human or animal, cattle or sheep, is to taste anything; they must not eat and they must not drink water.  [[#Verse 08.]] Every person and animal must put on sackcloth and must cry earnestly to God, and everyone must turn from their evil way of living and from the violence that they do.  [[#Verse 09.]] Who knows? Perhaps God might be willing to change his mind and relent and turn from his fierce anger so that we might not die.”  [[#Verse 10.]] When God saw their actions—that they turned from their evil way of living.—God relented concerning the judgment he had threatened them with and did not destroy them. ## ==📖 Verse-by-Verse Commentary== ###### Overall. ###### Verse 01. ###### Verse 02. ###### Verse 03. ###### Verse 04. ###### Verse 05. ###### Verse 06. ###### Verse 07. ###### Verse 08. ###### Verse 09. ###### Verse 10. ## 🤔 Interesting Facts / Historical and Cultural Insights - coming soon. %% PRIVATE NOTES (only I see this) Write down things that are not straight from commentary but interesting facts that ground the text in history. %% ## 🧠 Chapter Summary - coming soon. %% PRIVATE NOTES (only I see this) Write a short paragraph (3–5 sentences) summarizing what happens in this chapter. - What is the main event or teaching? - How does this chapter fit the book’s overall story? - What stands out immediately?
