Jonah 3:9 in Context — Jonah 3

7 E convocou e anunciou em Nínive, por mandado do rei e de seus maiorais, dizendo: Nem pessoas nem animais, nem bois nem ovelhas, provem coisa alguma, nem se lhes dê alimento, nem bebam água;

8 E que as pessoas e os animais se cubram de saco, e clamem fortemente a Deus; e convertam- se cada um de seu mau caminho, e da violência que está em suas mãos.

9 Quem sabe Deus mude de ideia e se arrependa, e se afaste do ardor de sua ira, para não perecermos?

10 E Deus viu a atitude deles, que se converteram de seu mau caminho; então Deus se arrependeu do mal que tinha dito que lhes faria, e não o fez.
