Psalm 130:1-8
1 A Canticle in steps. From the depths, I have cried out to you, O Lord. 2 O Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication. 3 If you, O Lord, were to heed iniquities, who, O Lord, could persevere? 4 For with you, there is forgiveness, and because of your law, I persevered with you, Lord. My soul has persevered in his word. 5 My soul has hoped in the Lord. 6 From the morning watch, even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord. 7 For with the Lord there is mercy, and with him there is bountiful redemption. 8 And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities. Jonah 3:1-10 1 And the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, saying: 2 Rise, and go to Nineveh, the great city. And preach in it the preaching that I say to you. 3 And Jonah rose, and he went to Nineveh in accordance with the word of the Lord. And Nineveh was a great city of three days' journey. 4 And Jonah began to enter into the city one day's journey. And he cried out and said, "Forty days more and Nineveh shall be destroyed." 5 And the men of Nineveh believed in God. And they proclaimed a fast, and they put on sackcloth, from the greatest all the way to the least. 6 And word reached the king of Nineveh. And he rose from his throne, and he threw off his robe from himself and was clothed in sackcloth, and he sat in ashes. 7 And he cried out and spoke: "In Nineveh, from the mouth of the king and of his princes, let it be said: Men and beasts and oxen and sheep may not taste anything. Neither shall they feed or drink water. 8 And let men and beasts be covered with sackcloth, and let them cry out to the Lord with strength, and may man be converted from his evil way, and from the iniquity that is in their hands. 9 Who knows if God may turn and forgive, and may turn away from his furious wrath, so that we might not perish?" 10 And God saw their works, that they had been converted from their evil way. And God took pity on them, concerning the harm that he had said he would do to them, and he did not do it.
