Jonah 3:8-10

EasyEnglish Bible

⁸ Everyone must wear sackcloth. You must cover all your animals with sackcloth too. Everyone must pray to God with all their strength. You must all stop doing bad and cruel things. ⁹ Then perhaps God may agree to forgive us. He may decide that he will not be angry with us. Then perhaps we will not all die.’

¹⁰ God saw what the people in Nineveh did. He saw that they stopped doing evil things. He had said that he would punish them for their sins. But now he decided that he would not destroy them.
