8 But both man and beast must be covered with sackcloth; and let [a]men (A)call on God earnestly that each may (B)turn from his wicked way and from the violence which is in [b]his hands. 9 (C)Who knows, God may turn and relent and withdraw His burning anger so that we will not perish.”
10 When God saw their deeds, that they (D)turned from their wicked way, then (E)God relented concerning the calamity which He had declared He would [c]bring upon them. And He did not do it.
