In Jonah 3:10, NKJV, CSB, ESV and NIV remove "repented" and errornously change "repented" into "relented"😨

Jonah 3:10 KJB
[10] And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.✅💯📖

Jonah 3:10 NKJV
[10] Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God relented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it❌😨

Jonah 3:10 CSB
[10] God saw their actions — that they had turned from their evil ways  — so God relented from the disaster he had threatened them with. And he did not do it.❌😨

Jonah 3:10 ESV
[10] When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil way, God relented of the disaster that he had said he would do to them, and he did not do it.❌😨

Jonah 3:10 NIV
[10] When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he relented and did not bring on them the destruction he had threatened.❌😨

Relent means to be more lenient, less severe/intense, or to allow something that was not allowed before/previously.
Repent means a change of mind. Thus, note that repent and relent have separate, completely different meanings because this will be important for the bottom section of this post.

💥The NKJV, CSB, ESV, and NIV take out "repented", because:
they want to remove the fact that God Himself simply changed His mind from being about to destroy Ninevah to not destroying Ninevah. First God was going to destroy Ninevah. When he saw that the people of Ninevah believed God first and seperately did the works of turning from their evil way, God

Jonah 3:3-4, 10 KJB
[3] So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey. [4] And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
[10] And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.
The easy example of repent is in Jonah 3:10 is "God repented of the evil, that he had said he would do unto them;" to "and he did it not".

💥Also, the NKJV, CSB, ESV, and NIV make a huge error by changing "repented" to "relented". By changing "repent" to "relent" it makes Jonah 3:10 look like God only took a less severe action or became more lenient, even though God Himself was going to destroy Ninevah (see Jonah 3:1-4) due to its wickedness (see Jonah 1:2-3). No, God did not relent or was "less severe" or more lenient. God changed his mind and did not destroy Ninevah (repented - KJB), not took less severe action against or became more lenient towards Ninevah (relented - NKJV, CSB, ESV, and NIV). Remember that God was about to destroy Ninevah. Yet then they/the people of Ninevah believed God; God saw their works of turning from their evil way and chose to not destroy Ninevah at all. Thus repented, not relented, is the correct word. NKJV, CSB, ESV, & NIV are wrong, and the KJB is right.

Discard NKJV, CSB, ESV, & NIV.
Stick with the KJB only
