Jonah 3:8 in context

Jonah 3:7      Jonah 3:9

Jonah 3:8

Yes, cover yourselves in sackcloth, humans and livestock. And cry out to God with all your might. And turn from your evil ways, yes, from the injustice (cruel violence and all kinds of wrongdoing – Hebr. chamas) that they commit [literally: that is in their hands].
[Thanks to archaeology, we know that people from this area and this period also had their livestock, especially horses, participate in a fast. It was also customary to shave the horses' manes in connection with this.]
