Jonah 3:2-4

New Century Version

² “Get up, go to the great city Nineveh, and preach to it what I tell you to say.”

³ So Jonah obeyed the Lord and got up and went to Nineveh. It was a very large city; just to walk across it took a person three days. ⁴ After Jonah had entered the city and walked for one day, he preached to the people, saying, “After forty days, Nineveh will be destroyed!”
