Jeremiah 18:8

Jer 18:8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.

Ver. 8. Turn from their evil. ] If I may see such work among them, as at Nineveh God did. Jon 3:10 He saw not their sackcloth and their ashes, but their repentance and works - those fruits of their faith.

I will repent of the evil. ] Not by any change of my will, but by the willing of a change: mutatione Rei non Dei.
