When the people of Nineveh repented and turned around from their bad way, the Bible says: “The true God felt regret over the calamity that he had spoken of causing to them; and he did not cause it. ” ​ — Jonah 3: 10.
فَيَهْوَهُ غَيَّرَ مَوْقِفَهُ مِنْ شَاوُلَ ،‏ إِذْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ قَدِ ٱخْتَارَهُ مَلِكًا لٰكِنَّهُ رَفَضَهُ فِي وَقْتٍ لَاحِقٍ .‏
