Jonah 3:8-10

Modern English Version

⁸ Both man and animals shall cover themselves with sackcloth and cry mightily to God. All shall turn from their evil ways and from the violence that is in their hands. ⁹ Who knows? God may relent and change His mind. He may turn from His fierce anger, so that we will not perish.”

¹⁰ When God saw their actions, that they turned from their evil ways, He changed His mind about the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it.
