And the tidings reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.

And the word came to the king of Nineveh, and he got up from his seat of authority, and took off his robe, and covering himself with haircloth, took his seat in the dust.

διοτι ο λογος ειχε φθασει προς τον βασιλεα της Νινευη και εσηκωθη απο του θρονου αυτου και αφηρεσε την στολην αυτου επανωθεν εαυτου και εσκεπασθη με σακκον και εκαθησεν επι σποδου.

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.
