Event

The people of Nineveh believe God, and the decree of the king of Nineveh and his nobles is published

니느웨 백성이 하나님을 믿고 니느웨 왕이 그 대신으로 더불어 조서를 내림

Jonah 3:5–9: the people of Nineveh believe God; and they proclaim a fast and put on sackcloth, from their greatest even to their least. The news reaches the king of Nineveh, and he arises from his throne, takes off his royal robe, covers himself with sackcloth, and sits in ashes. The text goes on, “He made a proclamation and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, ‘Let neither man nor animal, herd nor flock, taste anything; let them not feed, nor drink water; but let them be covered with sackcloth, both man and animal, and let them cry mightily to God. Yes, let them turn everyone from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands. Who knows whether God will not turn and relent, and turn away from his fierce anger, so that we might not perish?’” The Korean Revised Version has the king make the decree with his nobles and proclaim it in Nineveh (왕이 그 대신으로 더불어 조서를 내려 니느웨에 선포하여), reads 여호와께 부르짖을 것이며, cry to the LORD, at 3:8, where WEB reads “cry mightily to God”, and closes 3:9 with 그렇지 않을줄을 누가 알겠느냐, who knows that it will not be so.
