Jonah 3:4

4Jonah began by going a day’s journey into the city, proclaiming, “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overthrown.”

4Then Jonah began to go through the city one day’s walk; and he cried out and said, “Forty more days, and Nineveh will be overthrown.”

4Then Jonah began to go through the city one day’s walk; and he cried out and said, “Yet forty days and Nineveh will be overthrown.”

4Then on the first day’s walk, Jonah 3:4 Even though it probably would not have taken Jonah long merely to walk from one end of the city to another, to reach the entire population of more than 120,000, Jonah undoubtedly had to work his way through countless streets and alleys.

4On the first day of his journey, Jonah set out into the city and proclaimed, “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overturned!”

4Jonah began by going one whole day into the city. As he went, he announced, “In 40 days Nineveh will be destroyed.”
