Jonah 3:5-6 King James Version (KJV)
5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast,
and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the
least of them.
6 For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his
throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with
sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
Jonah 3:5-6 New Life Version (NLV)
5 Then the people of Nineveh believed in God. They called for a
time when no food was to be eaten. And all the people, from the
greatest to the least, put on clothes made from hair. 6 When the
news came to the king of Nineveh, he got up from his throne and
laid aside his beautiful clothing. Then he covered himself with
cloth made from hair, and sat in ashes.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
5 The people accepted the message and turned to God in
repentance, this is how we should want people to react when we
share God’s message with them, that they receive it. They fasted
this was to start to purify their bodies from all the corruption
they had in them by doing this it gave honor and glory to God.
Clothes from hair had to be uncomfortable; they didn’t want to
go back to where they were.
6 This showed that the king was also repenting, the people moved
the king, this can happen with the people devoted to the Lord it
can move leaders to seek God.
