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?”

And shouldn’t I show concern for the great city of Nineveh? It has more than 120,000 people. They can’t tell right from wrong. Nineveh also has a lot of animals.”

And should not I pity Nineveh, that great city, in which there are more than 120,000 persons who do not know their right hand from their left, and also much cattle?”

But Nineveh has more than 120,000 people living in spiritual darkness, not to mention all the animals. Shouldn’t I feel sorry for such a great city?”

So may I not care about the great city of Nineveh, which has more than a hundred twenty thousand people who cannot distinguish between their right and their left, as well as many animals?”

Should I not also have compassion on Nineveh, the great city in which there are more than 120,000 people, who do not know the difference between their right hand and their left, as well as many animals?”

And should I not pity Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred and twenty thousand persons who cannot discern between their right hand and their left— and much livestock?”

and should not I have regard for Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?

「起來！到尼尼微大城去，向那城呼喊，因為他們的惡行已經上達我的面前。」

難道你不也該憐憫與你同做奴僕的，像我憐憫了你一樣嗎？』

你的公義如高大的群山，你的公正如巨大的深淵。耶和華啊，人和牲畜，你都救護！

「大兒子發怒，不肯進去，他父親就出來勸他。他回答父親，說：『你看，我服事你這麼多年，從來沒有違背過你的命令，可是你從來沒有給過我一隻小山羊，好讓我與朋友們一同慶祝。而你這個兒子，這個與妓女們一起吞盡了你財產的，他一來了，你就為他宰殺了養肥的牛犢！』「父親對他說：『孩子啊，你一直與我在一起，我的一切都是你的。現在，我們應該慶祝、歡喜，因為你這個弟弟是死而復生、失而復得的。』」

神看到他們所行的——從邪惡的道路上轉回了，神就施憐憫，沒有降下原先所說的要降在他們身上的災禍。這讓約拿極其不高興，於是他就惱火，

「起來！到尼尼微大城去，向那城宣告我告訴你的信息！」約拿照著耶和華的話就起身，到尼尼微去。尼尼微是一座超級大城，走遍它需要三天的路程。

所有這些都仰望你按時賜給牠們食物。你賜給它們，牠們就收取；你張開手，它們就飽享美食。

你使青草為牲畜長出來，又使蔬菜長出來供人需用，好使人能從地裡得食物。

一切的眼目都仰望你，你按時賜給他們食物；你張開手，使一切有生命的都意願滿足。

耶和華有恩惠、有憐憫，不輕易發怒，並大有慈愛。耶和華善待萬有，他的憐憫臨到他所造的一切。

耶和華說：「來吧，讓我們彼此理論；你們的罪雖像朱紅，必潔白如雪；雖赤如丹紅，必白如羊毛。
