Jonah 3:7-10
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 3
7
And he issued a proclamation, and it said, 'In Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles: No person, animal, herd, or flock is to taste anything. They are not to eat, or drink water.
8
But
every
person and animal must be covered with sackcloth; and
people
are to call on God vehemently, and they are to turn, each one from his evil way, and from the violence which is in their hands.
9
Who knows, God may turn and relent, and turn from His burning anger so that we will not perish.'
10
When God saw their deeds, that they turned from their evil way, then God relented of the disaster which He had declared He would bring on them. So He did not do
it.
King James Version
Chapter 3
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.
9
Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
10
And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 3
7
Then he issued a decree in Nineveh: By order of the king and his nobles: No person or animal, herd or flock, is to taste anything at all. They must not eat or drink water.
8
Furthermore, both people and animals must be covered with sackcloth, and everyone must call out earnestly to God. Each must turn from his evil ways and from his wrongdoing.
9
Who knows? God may turn and relent; he may turn from his burning anger so that we will not perish.
10
God saw their actions—that they had turned from their evil ways —so God relented from the disaster he had threatened them with. And he did not do it.
New Living Translation
Chapter 3
7
Then the king and his nobles sent this decree throughout the city:
'No one, not even the animals from your herds and flocks, may eat or drink anything at all.
8
People and animals alike must wear garments of mourning, and everyone must pray earnestly to God. They must turn from their evil ways and stop all their violence.
9
Who can tell? Perhaps even yet God will change his mind and hold back his fierce anger from destroying us.'
10
When God saw what they had done and how they had put a stop to their evil ways, he changed his mind and did not carry out the destruction he had threatened.
English Standard Version
Chapter 3
7
And he issued a proclamation and published through Nineveh, "By the decree of the king and his nobles: Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything. Let them not feed or drink water,
8
but let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and let them call out mightily to God. Let everyone turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands.
9
Who knows? God may turn and relent and turn from his fierce anger, so that we may not perish."
10
When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil way, God relented of the disaster that he had said he would do to them, and he did not do it.
New International Version
Chapter 3
7
This is the proclamation he issued in Nineveh: "By the decree of the king and his nobles: Do not let people or animals, herds or flocks, taste anything; do not let them eat or drink.
8
But let people and animals be covered with sackcloth. Let everyone call urgently on God. Let them give up their evil ways and their violence.
9
Who knows? God may yet relent and with compassion turn from his fierce anger so that we will not perish."
10
When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he relented and did not bring on them the destruction he had threatened.
New King James Version

Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything; do not let them eat, or drink water.
8

9
Who can tell
if
God will turn and relent, and turn away from His fierce anger, so that we may not perish?
10
Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God relented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it.
