7 aAnd he caused it to be proclaimed and published throughout Nineveh by the decree of the king and his1 nobles, saying,
Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything; do not let them eat, or drink water.
Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything; do not let them eat, or drink water.
8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily to God; yes, alet every one turn from his evil way and from bthe violence that is in his hands.
9 aWho can tell if God will turn and relent, and turn away from His fierce anger, so that we may not perish?
10 aThen 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.
