Repentance

“And the LORD regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.”

“So the LORD said, “I will blot out man, whom I have created, from the face of the earth—every man and beast and crawling creature and bird of the air—for I am grieved that I have made them.””

“So the LORD relented from the calamity He had threatened to bring on His people.”

“For the LORD will vindicate His people and have compassion on His servants when He sees that their strength is gone and no one remains, slave or free.”

“Whenever the LORD raised up a judge for the Israelites, He was with that judge and saved them from the hands of their enemies while the judge was still alive; for the LORD was moved to pity by their groaning under those who oppressed them and afflicted them.”

““I regret that I have made Saul king, for he has turned away from following Me and has not carried out My instructions.” And Samuel was distressed and cried out to the LORD all that night.”

“Moreover, the Glory of Israel does not lie or change His mind, for He is not a man, that He should change His mind.””

“And to the day of his death, Samuel never again visited Saul. Samuel mourned for Saul, and the LORD regretted that He had made Saul king over Israel.”
