“But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.”
The statement that all should turn from evil ways and from violence and that perhaps God would relent and not destroy them indicates the motivation for repentance—the possibility that God might spare the city. The willingness to turn from violence indicates genuine moral change.
