God: qualities attributed to Him (d): Jeremiah 15:6

Passage Jeremiah 15:6

A God who repents. In Genesis 6:6 the LORD regretted that he had made man and was grieved, and in Jeremiah 15:6 he says he is weary of relenting. The argument holds that regret implies a lack of foreknowledge, which is not a quality of God.

You have rejected me, declares the LORD; you keep going backward, so I have stretched out my hand against you and destroyed you— I am weary of relenting.

Jeremiah 15:6

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

Genesis 6:6
