**נֶהְפָּכֶת.** נֶחֱרֶבֶת. (וְלֹא אָמַר נֶחֱרֶבֶת כִּי נֶהְפָּכֶת מְשַׁמֵּשׁ שְׁתֵּי לְשׁוֹנוֹת, רַע וְטוֹב: אִם לֹא יַעֲשׂוּ תְשׁוּבָה – נֶחֱרֶבֶת, וְאִם יַעֲשׂוּ תְשׁוּבָה – אָז נֶהְפָּכֶת. עַל אַנְשֵׁי נִינְוֵה קָאֵי שֶׁיַּהַפְכוּ מֵרָעָה לְטוֹבָה וְיַעֲשׂוּ תְשׁוּבָה. הג״ה דר״ע):

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**overturned** Destroyed. [He did not say, “Destroyed,” because “overturned” has two meanings, bad and good. If they do not repent, it will be destroyed; if they repent, then “overturned” refers to the people of Nineveh, that they will be changed from bad to good, and they will repent. Gloss of Rabbi Akiva(?)]
