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?”

“起来，到尼尼微大城去，向其中的居民宣告，因为他们的恶已达到我面前。”

你不应该怜悯你的同伴，像我怜悯你吗？’

你们的孩子，你们说要成为掳物的，就是今日尚不知善恶的儿女，必进入那地。我要将那地赐给他们，他们必得为业。

你的公义好像高山，你的判断如同深渊；耶和华啊，人民、牲畜，你都救护。

大儿子就生气，不肯进去，他父亲出来劝他。他对父亲说：‘你看，我服侍你这么多年，从来没有违背过你的命令，而你从来没有给我一只小山羊，叫我和朋友们一同快乐。但你这个儿子和娼妓吃光了你的财产，他一回来，你倒为他宰了肥牛犊。’父亲对他说：‘儿啊！你常和我同在，我所有的一切都是你的；可是你这个弟弟是死而复活，失而复得的，所以我们理当欢喜庆祝。’”

神察看他们的行为，见他们离开恶道，神就改变心意，原先所说要降与他们的灾难，他不降了。这事令约拿大大不悦，甚至发怒。

“起来，到尼尼微大城去，把我告诉你的信息向其中的居民宣告。”约拿就照耶和华的话起来，到尼尼微去。尼尼微是一座极大的城，约有三天的路程。

这些都仰望你按时给它们食物。你给它们，它们就拾起来；你张手，它们就饱得美食。

他使草生长，给牲畜吃，使菜蔬生长，供给人用，使人从地里得食物，

万有的眼目都仰望你，你按时给他们食物。你张手，使一切有生命的都随愿饱足。

耶和华有恩惠，有怜悯，不轻易发怒，大有慈爱。耶和华善待万有，他的怜悯覆庇他一切所造的。

耶和华说：“来吧，我们彼此辩论。你们的罪虽像朱红，必变成雪白；虽红如丹颜，必白如羊毛。
