Jonah 3:8 in Context — Jonah 3
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!
9 Qui sait si Dieu ne reviendra pas et ne se repentira pas, et s’il ne renoncera pas à son ardente colère, en sorte que nous ne périssions point?
10 Dieu vit qu’ils agissaient ainsi et qu’ils revenaient de leur mauvaise voie. Alors Dieu se repentit du mal qu’il avait résolu de leur faire, et il ne le fit pas.
