Jan 24, 2017 · Then the citizens of Nineveh repent, and God relents from his punishment. So even though he says in Amos 1-2 “for three crimes of X and for four I will not turn back the punishment”, this really is hyperbole.

Amos 1:2. And he said, The LORD will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither. Revelation 5:5.
