Jonah 3:2

The People Of Nineveh Repent At Jonah's Proclamation

¹ Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the second time, saying, ² “Go to Nineveh the great city and declare to it the message which I am going to tell you.” ³ So Jonah went to Nineveh in accordance with the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, a three days’ walk [about sixty miles in circumference].

You will become My spokesman.
Let the people turn to you [and learn to value My values]—
But you, you must not turn to them [with regard for their idolatry and wickedness].
