Transcription: Assyrian soldiers had no qualms about scorched earth military tactics. Typically, after destroying an enemy's fields and cities, they would slaughter the conquered people or hammer iron hooks through their noses or lower lips and lead them away as slaves. Jonah wanted no part in giving such bullies a chance to repent. But amazingly, God loved Nineveh and wanted to save the city, not destroy it. He knew the people were ripe for for change.
