- 这信息传到尼尼微王的耳中，他就下了宝座，脱下朝服，披上麻布，坐在灰中。
- 他又使人遍告尼尼微通城，说，王和大臣有令，人不可尝什么，牲畜，牛羊不可吃草，也不可喝水。
- 人与牲畜都当披上麻布，人要切切求告神。各人回头离开所行的恶道，丢弃手中的强暴。
- 或者神转意后悔，不发烈怒，使我们不致灭亡，也未可知。
- 于是神察看他们的行为，见他们离开恶道，他就后悔，不把所说的灾祸降与他们了。

- He issued a proclamation and it said, "In Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles: Do not let man, beast, herd, or flock taste a thing. Do not let them eat or drink water.
- "But both man and beast must be covered with sackcloth; and let men call on God earnestly that each may turn from his wicked way and from the violence which is in his hands.
- "Who knows, God may turn and relent and withdraw His burning anger so that we will not perish."
- When God saw their deeds, that they turned from their wicked way, then God relented concerning the calamity which He had declared He would bring upon them. And He did not do it.
