¹ I dođe reč Gospodnja Joni drugi put govoreći:

² Ustani, i idi u Nineviju grad veliki, i propovedaj mu ono što ti ja kažem.

³ I ustav Jona otide u Nineviju po reči Gospodnjoj; a Ninevija beše grad vrlo velik, tri dana hoda.

⁴ I Jona poče ići po gradu jedan dan hoda, i propoveda i reče: Jošte četrdeset dana, pa će Ninevija propasti.

⁵ I Ninevljani poverovaše Bogu, i oglasiše post, i obukoše se u kostret od najvećeg do najmanjeg.

⁶ Jer kad dođe ta reč do cara ninevijskog, on usta sa svog prestola, i skide sa sebe svoje odelo, i obuče se u kostret i sede u pepeo.

⁷ I proglasi se i kaza se po Nineviji po zapovesti carevoj i knezova njegovih govoreći: Ljudi i stoka, goveda i ovce da ne okuse ništa, ni da pasu ni da piju vode.

⁸ Nego i ljudi i stoka da se pokriju kostreću, i da prizivaju Boga jako, i da se vrati svaki sa svog zlog puta i od nepravde koja mu je u ruku.

⁹ Ko zna, eda se povrati i raskaje Bog i povrati se od ljutog gneva svog, te ne izginemo.

¹⁰ I Bog vide dela njihova, gde se vratiše sa zlog puta svog; i raskaja se Bog oda zla koje reče da im učini, i ne učini.

¹³ I razderite srca svoja, a ne haljine svoje, i obratite se ka Gospodu Bogu svom, jer je milostiv i žalostiv, spor na gnev i obilan milosrđem i kaje se oda zla.

¹ Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they don't look to the Holy One of Israel, and they don't seek Yahweh!

² Yet he also is wise, and will bring disaster, and will not call back his words, but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of those who work iniquity.

³ Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When Yahweh stretches out his hand, both he who helps shall stumble, and he who is helped shall fall, and they all shall be consumed together.

⁴ For thus says Yahweh to me, "As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds is called together against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them, so Yahweh of Armies will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on its heights.

⁵ As birds hovering, so Yahweh of Armies will protect Jerusalem. He will protect and deliver it. He will pass over and preserve it."

⁶ Return to him from whom you have deeply revolted, children of Israel.

⁷ For in that day everyone shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold--sin which your own hands have made for you.

⁸ "The Assyrian will fall by the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of mankind, shall devour him. He will flee from the sword, and his young men will become subject to forced labor.

⁹ His rock will pass away by reason of terror, and his princes will be afraid of the banner," says Yahweh, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
