Again, the same Hebrew word is used, which translates “to be sorry for.” Why was God sorry for what He had planned for the Ninevites? Because they had a change in heart and as a result changed their ways from disobedience to obedience.
Tena, neno hilo moja la Kiebrania limetumika, ambalo laweza fasiriwa “kuwa pole” nii kwa Mungu alikuwa alihusunika kwa yale aliyokwisha pangia watu wa Ninewi?
