“ Go immediately to Nineveh, that large capital city, and announce judgment against its people because their wickedness has come to my attention.”

He will go back the way he came. He will not enter this city,” says the LORD.

Because you rage against me, and the uproar you create has reached my ears; I will put my hook in your nose, and my bridle between your lips, and I will lead you back the way you came.”

Look, I will take control of his mind; he will receive a report and return to his own land. I will cut him down with a sword in his own land.”’”

“ Go immediately to Nineveh, that large city, and proclaim to it the message that I tell you.”So Jonah went immediately to Nineveh, as the LORD had said.( Now Nineveh was an enormous city– it required three days to walk through it!)When Jonah began to enter the city one day’s walk, he announced,“ At the end of forty days, Nineveh will be overthrown!”The people of Nineveh believed in God, and they declared a fast and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least of them.When the news reached the king of Nineveh, he got up from his throne, took off his royal robe, put on sackcloth, and sat on ashes.He issued a proclamation and said,“ In Nineveh, by the decree of the king and his nobles: No human or animal, cattle or sheep, is to taste anything; they must not eat and they must not drink water.Every person and animal must put on sackcloth and must cry earnestly to God, and everyone must turn from their evil way of living and from the violence that they do.Who knows? Perhaps God might be willing to change his mind and relent and turn from his fierce anger so that we might not die.”When God saw their actions– they turned from their evil way of living!– God relented concerning the judgment he had threatened them with and he did not destroy them.

From that land he went to Assyria, where he built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah,and Resen, which is between Nineveh and the great city Calah.

The oracle against Nineveh; the book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite:

Nineveh was like a pool of water throughout her days, but now her people are running away; she cries out:“ Stop! Stop!”– but no one turns back.

The people of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented when Jonah preached to them– and now, something greater than Jonah is here!
