Jonah 1:2

Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,

The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.

Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.

And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?

For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.

But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.

And said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens.

And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.

And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.

Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
