9 And I will speak suddenly concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom to build it and to plant it.
10 But if it do evil in my sight, and hear not my voice, I will repent of the good that I thought to do for them.

- Jeremiah 18:8 When the Scripture attributeth repentance unto God, it is not that he doeth contrary to that which he hath ordained in his secret counsel: but when he threateneth, it is a calling to repentance, and when he giveth man grace to repent, the threatening (which ever containeth a condition in it) taketh no place: and this the scripture calleth repentance in God, because it so appeareth to man’s judgment.
Jeremiah 18:8-10
New International Version
8 and if that nation I warned repents of its evil, then I will relent(A) and not inflict on it the disaster(B) I had planned. 9 And if at another time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be built(C) up and planted, 10 and if it does evil(D) in my sight and does not obey me, then I will reconsider(E) the good I had intended to do for it.(F)
