I hear Nineveh was pretty bad, too, but you didn’t see that stopping God from saving them anyway.
Sucked to be Jonah, though. He thought God should have given them what they deserved.

Ninevah had "national repentance" from the king on down to the "man in the street"... and when there is "national repentance" there will be a delaying of God's judgment because of that repentance.
But, also note that God did follow through with His judgment, anyway, but delayed it because those of that generation did repent.
Ninevah was destroyed, but destroyed later, when those of that generation were gone...
To read later...
