It will be an abandoned ruin forever– it must never be rebuilt again. 17 You must not take for yourself anything that has been placed under judgment. Then the LORD will relent from his intense anger, show you compassion, have mercy on you, and multiply you as he promised your ancestors.

Don’t hold us guilty of shedding innocent blood. After all, you, LORD, have done just as you pleased.” 15 So they picked Jonah up and threw him into the sea, and the sea stopped raging.

    12Therefore, announce:‘I am going to give to him my covenant of peace.

    13So it will be to him and his descendants after him a covenant of a permanent priesthood, because he has been zealous for his God, and has made atonement for the Israelites.’”
