Jon 3:9 | CPDV | STEP | Who knows if God may turn and forgive, and may turn away from his furious wrath, so that we might not perish?”

Jonah 3:9

9 Who knows if God may turn and forgive, and may turn away from his furious wrath, so that we might not perish?” ^{▼▼3:9This verse has a question mark, but it is more of a statement than a question. The question mark is probably not necessary in the English translation. Notice that ‘et non peribimus’ is translated as ‘so that we might not perish,’ instead of ‘and we might not perish.’ The word ‘et’ is not always equivalent to the English word ‘and.’(Conte)}
