Jonah 3:7-9

International Children’s Bible

By command of the king and his important men: No person or animal should eat anything. No herd or flock will be allowed to taste anything. Do not let them eat food or drink water. ⁸ But every person and animal should be covered with rough cloth. People should cry loudly to God. Everyone must turn away from his evil life. Everyone must stop doing harm. ⁹ Maybe God will change his mind. Maybe he will stop being angry. Then we will not die.
