God does/does not change his mind


Numbers 23:19 (also James 1:17, Malachi 3:6)

God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?

Genesis 6:6 (KJV)

And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

Jonah 3:10 (also 1 Samuel 2:30-31, 2 Kings 20:1-6)

When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he had compassion and did not bring upon them the destruction he had threatened.
