Yonah3
Jonah · Chapter 3
And the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) came unto Yonah the second time, saying,
Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.
So Yonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH). Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days’ journey.
And Yonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
So the people of Nineveh believed Elohim, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
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.
And he caused
it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water:
But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto Elohim: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that
is in their hands.
Who can tell
if Elohim will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
And Elohim saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and Elohim repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did
it not.

Yonah4
Jonah · Chapter 4
But it displeased Yonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.
And he prayed unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), and said, I pray thee, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH),
was
not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou
art a gracious Elohim, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.
Therefore now, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for
it is better for me to die than to live.
Then said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), Doest thou well to be angry?
So Yonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) Elohim prepared a gourd, and made
it to come up over Yonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Yonah was exceeding glad of the gourd.
But Elohim prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.
And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that Elohim prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Yonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said,
It is better for me to die than to live.
And Elohim said to Yonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry,
even unto death.
Then said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:
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?

Mikhah1
Micah · Chapter 1
The word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz,
and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Yerushalayim.
Hear, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) be witness against you, the master from his holy heikhal.
For, behold, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.
And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire,
and as the waters
that are
poured down a steep place.
For the transgression of Ya'aqov
is all this, and for the sins of the house of Yisra'el. What
is the transgression of Ya'aqov?
is it
not Samaria? and what
are the high places of Judah?
are they not Yerushalayim?
Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field,
and
as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundations thereof.
And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered
it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.
Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.
For her wound
is incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is come unto the gate of my people,
even to Yerushalayim.
Declare ye
it not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll thyself in the dust.
Pass ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir, having thy shame naked: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Beth-ezel; he shall receive of you his standing.
For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but evil came down from 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) unto the gate of Yerushalayim.
O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she
is the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Tsiyon: for the transgressions of Yisra'el were found in thee.
Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moresheth-gath: the houses of Achzib
shall be a lie to the kings of Yisra'el.
Yet will I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come unto Adullam the glory of Yisra'el.
Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy delicate children; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee.
