Jonah 3:5
So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
Context
This verse from Jonah Chapter 3 connects to 10 cross-references. Jonah preaches to Nineveh: 'Yet forty days and Nineveh shall be overthrown.' Remarkably the entire city — from king to animals — repents in sackcloth. God sees their repentance and relents from the disaster he had said he would bring.
