when the people of Ninveh believed God. They proclaimed a fast and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least.

When the news reached the king of Ninveh, he got up from his throne, took off his robe, put on sackcloth and sat in ashes.

Who knows? Maybe God will change his mind, relent and turn from his fierce anger; and then we won't perish."
