Jonah 3:6 in Context — Jonah 3
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.
7 Et il fit faire dans Ninive cette publication, par ordre du roi et de ses grands; Que les hommes et les bêtes, les bœufs et les brebis, ne goûtent de rien, ne paissent point, et ne boivent point d’eau!
8 Que les hommes et les bêtes soient couverts de sacs, qu’ils crient à Dieu avec force, et qu’ils reviennent tous de leur mauvaise voie et des actes de violence dont leurs mains sont coupables!
