God Responds to Humility
Commentators consistently highlight that God immediately responded with mercy when He saw the people humble themselves. Scholars like John Gill and Charles Spurgeon note that even if their repentance was only external, God took notice and relented from His plan of total destruction. This reveals a God who is quick to show mercy to those who turn toward Him, even imperfectly.
