Jonah 3:8–4:2

⁸But let man and beast ^ebe covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, ⁿlet them turn every one from his evil way, and from ^othe violence that is in their hands. ^9pqWho can tell if God will turn ^qand repent, and ^rturn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? ¹⁰And God saw their works, that ^nsthey turned from their evil way; and ^stGod repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.

4But ^ait displeased Jonah exceedingly, and ^bhe was very angry. ²And he prayed unto the Lord, and said, I pray thee, O Lord, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore ^cI fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art ^da gracious God, and ^demerciful, ^dslow to anger, and of great kindness, ^dand repentest thee of the evil.
