Jonah 3:6 in Context — Jonah 3
4 E Jonas começou a entrar pela cidade, caminho de um dia, e pregava dizendo: Daqui a quarenta dias Nínive será destruída.
5 E os homens de Nínive creram em Deus; e convocaram um jejum, e se vestiram de sacos, desde o maior até o menor deles.
6 Pois quando esta palavra chegou ao rei de Nínive, ele se levantou de seu trono, e lançou de si sua roupa, e cobriu-se de saco, e se sentou em cinzas.
7 E convocou e anunciou em Nínive, por mandado do rei e de seus maiorais, dizendo: Nem pessoas nem animais, nem bois nem ovelhas, provem coisa alguma, nem se lhes dê alimento, nem bebam água;
8 E que as pessoas e os animais se cubram de saco, e clamem fortemente a Deus; e convertam- se cada um de seu mau caminho, e da violência que está em suas mãos.
