Commentary on Jonah 3:10

Theological / Devotional

They turned. Compare Matt. 12:41; see PK363.

God repented. God does not change, but circumstances do (see Jer. 18:7-10; Eze. 33:13-16). His pronouncements of judgments are frequently, in effect, conditional prophecies (see on Eze. 25:1). For a discussion of the manner of God’s repenting see on Gen. 6:6; 1 Sam. 15:11. God speaks to men in terms of their own experience.
