Reading I
Jon 3:1-5, 10
And the word of the Lord came to Jonah the second time saying:
Arise, and go to Ninive, the great city: and preach in it the preaching that I bid thee.
And Jonah arose, and went to Ninive, according to the word of the Lord: now Ninive was a great city of three days' journey.
And Jonah began to enter into the city one day's journey: and he cried and said: Yet forty days and Ninive shall be destroyed.
And the men of Ninive believed in God: and they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth from the greatest to the least.
And God saw their works, that they were turned from their evil way: and God had mercy with regard to the evil which he had said that he would do to them, and he did it not.
