Jonah 3:3-4 King James Version (KJV)
3 So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word
of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three
days' journey.
4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he
cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be
overthrown.
Jonah 3:3-4 New Life Version (NLV)
3 So Jonah got up and went to Nineveh, as the Lord had told him.
Now Nineveh was a very large city. It took three days to walk
through it. 4 Jonah started into the city, for a day’s walk, and
he cried out, “In forty days Nineveh will be destroyed!”

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
3 Three days to walk thru the city, this would make it very
large. Jonah finally did what he should have from the start,
sometimes God bring us back to where we need to be so like Jonah
we can make the right decision, it is His mercy on us.
4 Jonah’s message, it was simple and he was just called to shout
it from the streets, this is what he didn’t want to do, he
wanted them to be destroyed but God warns people before they are
judged so they can change and become right with Him, being right
with Him leads to grace and not judgment.
