Jonah 3:6-8

Jonah 3:6-8

[6] For word  came  unto the king  of Nineveh,  and he arose  from his throne,  and he laid  his robe  from him, and covered  him with sackcloth,  and sat  in ashes.  [7] And he caused it to be proclaimed  and published  through Nineveh  by the decree  of the king  and his nobles,  saying,  Let neither man  nor beast,  herd  nor flock,  taste  any thing:  let them not feed,  nor drink  water:  [8] But let man  and beast  be covered  with sackcloth,  and cry  mightily  unto God:  yea, let them turn  every one  from his evil  way,  and from the violence  that is in their hands.
