Exodus 32:14
Douay-Rheims
And the Lord was appeased from doing the evil which he had spoken against his people.
Augustine of Hippo
Though we sometimes hear the expression "God changed his mind" or even read in the figurative language of Scripture that "God repented," we interpret these sayings not in reference to the decisions determined on by almighty God but in reference to the expectations of man or to the order of natural causes.
