11 And should [a]not I spare Nineveh that great city, wherein are sixscore thousand persons, that [b]cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand, and also much cattle?

Jonah 4:10-11
New International Version
10 But the Lord said, “You have been concerned about this plant, though you did not tend it or make it grow. It sprang up overnight and died overnight. 11 And should I not have concern(A) for the great city of Nineveh,(B) in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand people who cannot tell their right hand from their left—and also many animals?”
