Jonah 3:7-10

Jonah 3:7-10 TPT

He then issued this proclamation: “People of Nineveh, by decree of the king and his nobles, no person or animal, herd or flock, may eat anything; they must not consume any food or water. Each of you must cover yourself and your livestock with burlap and call on God with all your might. Everyone must turn away from his or her evil ways and violent behavior. Who knows? Perhaps God may show us mercy and be willing to change his mind. Perhaps he will relent and turn from unleashing his fierce anger so that we will not die.” When God saw their sincere efforts to turn from their wicked ways, he decided not to punish the people of Nineveh and did not bring upon them the disaster he said would come.
