6 When the news reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, removed his robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. 7 Then he had a proclamation made in Nineveh: “By the decree of the king and his nobles: No human being or animal, no herd or flock, shall taste anything. They shall not feed, nor shall they drink water. Jonah 3:6-7, NRSV Catholic Edition. Copyright © 1989, 1993 by the National Council of the Churches of Christ.
