“When God saw their actions — that they had turned from their evil ways — He relented from the disaster He had threatened to bring upon them.”
Jonah 3:10 (BSB)
Context Reading
8Furthermore, let both man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and have everyone call out earnestly to God. Let each one turn from his evil ways and from the violence in his hands. 9Who knows? God may turn and relent; He may turn from His fierce anger, so that we will not perish.” 10When God saw their actions — that they had turned from their evil ways — He relented from the disaster He had threatened to bring upon them.
