Nineveh

Out of that land came Asshur, and builded Niniueh, and the citie Rehoboth, and Calah:

Resen also betweene Niniueh and Calah: this is a great citie.

So Saneherib King of Asshur departed, and went his way, and returned, and dwelt in Nineueh.

So Saneherib king of Asshur departed, and went away and returned and dwelt at Nineueh.

Arise, and goe to Nineueh, that great citie, and crye against it: for their wickednesse is come vp before mee.

Arise, goe vnto Nineueh that great citie, and preach vnto it the preaching, which I bid thee.

So Ionah arose and went to Nineueh according to ye word of the Lord: now Nineueh was a great and excellent citie of three dayes iourney.

And Ionah began to enter into the citie a dayes iourney, and he cryed, and said, Yet fourtie dayes, and Nineueh shalbe ouerthrowen.

So the people of Nineueh beleeued God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth from ye greatest of the euen to the least of them.

For worde came vnto the King of Nineueh, and he rose from his throne, and he layed his robe from him, and couered him with sackecloth, and sate in ashes.

And he proclaimed and said through Nineueh, (by the counsell of ye king and his nobles) saying, Let neither man, nor beast, bullock nor sheep taste any thing, neither feed nor drinke water.

And shoulde not I spare Nineueh that great citie, wherein are sixe score thousande persons, that cannot discerne betweene their right hand, and their left hand, and also much cattell?

The burden of Nineueh. The booke of the vision of Nahum the Elkeshite.

But Nineueh is of olde like a poole of water: yet they shall flee away. Stande, stande, shall they crie: but none shall looke backe.

And it shall come to passe, that al they that looke vpon thee, shall flee from thee, and say, Nineueh is destroyed, who will haue pitie vpon her? where shall I seeke comforters for thee?

And he wil stretch out his hand against the North, and destroy Asshur, and will make Nineueh desolate, and waste like a wildernesse.

The men of Nineue shall rise in iudgement with this generation, and condemne it: for they repented at the preaching of Ionas: and behold, a greater then Ionas is here.

For as Ionas was a signe to the Niniuites: so shall also the Sonne of man bee to this generation.
