+------This Is It; Jonah's Words To The King Of Nineveh, Trembling

Believe me, I have
seen and heard things
previously unfathomed-
King David staring
into Goliath’s eyes
emptied before collapsing
at the feet of his cohort
of Philistines. Thrown overboard
into havoc’s deep, for 3 days
endless, (in a Whale’s Tomb)
I addressed, deliberated
with your flayed ghost pleading
for his nation’s rebirth
after death. I heard echoes
asleep of stampeding chariots,
tormented wailing of Assyrians.
Please, you have 40 days
to repent, rethink your ethos.
If not…I swear everything and
everyone here...will burn. 

------Jonah 3:1-10
Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time: “Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you.” Jonah obeyed the word of the Lord and went to Nineveh. Now Nineveh was a very large city; it took three days to go through it. Jonah began by going a day’s journey into the city, proclaiming, “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overthrown.” The Ninevites believed God. A fast was proclaimed, and all of them, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth.
When Jonah’s warning reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took off his royal robes, covered himself with sackcloth and sat down in the dust. This is the proclamation he issued in Nineveh: “By the decree of the king and his nobles: Do not let people or animals, herds or flocks, taste anything; do not let them eat or drink. But let people and animals be covered with sackcloth. Let everyone call urgently on God. Let them give up their evil ways and their violence. Who knows? God may yet relent and with compassion turn from his fierce anger so that we will not perish.” When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he relented and did not bring on them the destruction he had threatened.
