What does the Bible say about the repentance of Nineveh?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible records that the people of Nineveh repented in response to Jonah's preaching and turned from their evil ways.

In the book of Jonah, we see that after Jonah preached the message of impending judgment—Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown—the people responded by believing God, proclaiming a fast, and putting on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least (Jonah 3:5). The king of Nineveh even issued a decree for all to turn from their evil ways, demonstrating the depth of their repentance (Jonah 3:6-8). Their repentant actions were recognized by God, who then relented from the disaster He had planned for them (Jonah 3:10). This shows God's willingness to respond to genuine repentance and highlights His grace.
