Jonah 3:8-10

8and let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto 1God; and let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. 9Who knoweth but that 2God will turn and repent, and will turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? 10And 3God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and 4God repented of the evil that he had said he would do unto them, and he did [it] not.
