⁶ The Lord regretted^(A) that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. ⁷ So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth^(B) the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.^(C)”

¹⁴ Then the Lord relented^(A) and did not bring on his people the disaster he had threatened.

¹⁶ When the angel stretched out his hand to destroy Jerusalem, the Lord relented^(A) concerning the disaster and said to the angel who was afflicting the people, “Enough! Withdraw your hand.” The angel of the Lord^(B) was then at the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
