Jonah later wrote: “The true God got to see their works, that they had turned back from their bad way; and so 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.
Joona kirjutas hiljem: „Kui Jumal nägi nende tegusid, et nad pöördusid oma kurjalt teelt, siis Jumal kahetses kurja, mis ta oli lubanud neile teha, ega teinud seda mitte ”.
