The king of Nineveh heard the news. He got up from his throne and took off his robes. He put on rough clothes and sat in ashes. He sent a message throughout Nineveh.
“The king and his important men command this! No person or animal may eat or drink anything. Every person and animal must wear rough clothes. People should cry loudly to God. Everyone must turn from his evil and violence.
“Who knows? Maybe God will change his mind. Maybe God will stop being angry. Then we won’t die.”
