And should I not have concern for the great city of Nineveh, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand people who cannot tell their right hand from their left— and also many animals?”

And shouldn’t I show concern for the great city of Nineveh? It has more than 120,000 people. They can’t tell right from wrong. Nineveh also has a lot of animals.”

And should not I pity Nineveh, that great city, in which there are more than 120,000 persons who do not know their right hand from their left, and also much cattle?”

But Nineveh has more than 120,000 people living in spiritual darkness, not to mention all the animals. Shouldn’t I feel sorry for such a great city?”

So may I not care about the great city of Nineveh, which has more than a hundred twenty thousand people who cannot distinguish between their right and their left, as well as many animals?”

Should I not also have compassion on Nineveh, the great city in which there are more than 120,000 people, who do not know the difference between their right hand and their left, as well as many animals?”

And should I not pity Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred and twenty thousand persons who cannot discern between their right hand and their left— and much livestock?”

『你起來，往尼尼微那大城去，宣告警戒它的居民；因為他們的壞行為上到我面前了。』

你豈不應當憐恤和你同做奴僕的，像我憐恤你麼？」

還有你們的婦女小孩、你們所說要被擄掠的、和你們的兒女、今日還不知好壞的，他們這些人才可以進那裏去；我賜那地是要給他們；他們才能取得那地以為業。

你的義氣好像高山；你的公道如同大深淵；永恆主啊，人和牲口你都救護。

大兒子卻發怒，不肯進去；他父親就出來勸他。他回答他父親說：「你看，我服事了你這麼多年，從未疏忽過你的命令；你也從未給過我一隻山羊羔，讓我和我的朋友一同快樂。但你這個兒子、這同妓女喫盡了你給的養生之資的、一來，你倒為他宰了那隻肥牛犢！」父親對他說：「孩子，你始終跟我在一起，我的一切都是你的。但你這弟弟、他死又活了；失掉、又得着了；我們理當歡喜快樂啊。」』

上帝看他們所作的，見他們回轉過來、離開他們的壞行徑，上帝對那災禍就改變心意：他說要降與他們的，如今也不降了。這事叫約拿大不高興，甚至發怒。

『你起來，往尼尼微那大城去，向它的居民宣告我所吩咐你宣告的話。約拿便起來，照永恆主的話往尼尼微去。這尼尼微是個極大的城，要走三天、才走得完。

它們這些活物都仰望着你按時給牠們食物。你給了牠們，牠們便撿起來；你展開了手，牠們就飽飫美食。

你使草發生、給牲口喫；使菜蔬生長、給人耕種，使人從地裏產出食物；

萬物的眼都仰望着你；你按時節給他們食物。你展開了手，使眾生都隨願飽足。

永恆主有恩惠，有憐憫，不輕易發怒，而有宏大的堅愛。永恆主善待萬物，他的憐憫覆庇着他一切所造的。

永恆主說：『來，我們來彼此辯訴；你們的罪雖像硃紅，必變白如雪；雖紅如丹硃，必白如羊毛。
