3:1
The word of the LORD came to Jonah a second
time, saying,
3:2
"Get up, go to Nineveh, that great city,
and proclaim to it the message that I tell
you."
3:3
So Jonah set out and went to Nineveh, according
to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an
exceedingly large city, a three days' walk
across.
3:4
Jonah began to go into the city, going a day's
walk. And he cried out, "Forty days more,
and Nineveh shall be overthrown!"
3:5
And the people of Nineveh believed God; they
proclaimed a fast, and everyone, great and
small, put on sackcloth.
3:10
When God saw what they did, how they turned from
their evil ways, God changed his mind about the
calamity that he had said he would bring upon
them; and he did not do it.

62:5
For God alone my soul waits in silence, for my
hope is from him.
62:6
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my
fortress; I shall not be shaken.
62:7
On God rests my deliverance and my honor; my
mighty rock, my refuge is in God.
62:8
Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out
your heart before him; God is a refuge for us.
Selah
62:9
Those of low estate are but a breath, those of
high estate are a delusion; in the balances they
go up; they are together lighter than a breath.
62:10
Put no confidence in extortion, and set no vain
hopes on robbery; if riches increase, do not set
your heart on them.
62:11
Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this:
that power belongs to God,
62:12
and steadfast love belongs to you, O Lord. For
you repay to all according to their work.

7:29
I mean, brothers and sisters, the appointed time
has grown short; from now on, let even those who
have wives be as though they had none,
7:30
and those who mourn as though they were not
mourning, and those who rejoice as though they
were not rejoicing, and those who buy as though
they had no possessions,
7:31
and those who deal with the world as though they
had no dealings with it. For the present form of
this world is passing away.

1:14
Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to
Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God,
1:15
and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the
kingdom of God has come near; repent, and
believe in the good news."
1:16
As Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee, he saw
Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into
the sea--for they were fishermen.
1:17
And Jesus said to them, "Follow me and I
will make you fish for people."
1:18
And immediately they left their nets and
followed him.
1:19
As he went a little farther, he saw James son of
Zebedee and his brother John, who were in their
boat mending the nets.
1:20
Immediately he called them; and they left their
father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men,
and followed him.
