Jonah 3:4 in Context — Jonah 3

2 Lève-toi, va à Ninive, la grande ville, et proclames-y la publication que je t’ordonne!

3 Et Jonas se leva, et alla à Ninive, selon la parole de l’Éternel. Or Ninive était une très grande ville, de trois jours de marche.

4 Jonas fit d’abord dans la ville une journée de marche; il criait et disait: Encore quarante jours, et Ninive est détruite!

5 Les gens de Ninive crurent à Dieu, ils publièrent un jeûne, et se revêtirent de sacs, depuis les plus grands jusqu’aux plus petits.

6 La chose parvint au roi de Ninive; il se leva de son trône, ôta son manteau, se couvrit d’un sac, et s’assit sur la cendre.
