I used the NIV deliberately to show the difference in translations. The NAS use "repent". I don't have time to go into a great deal of detail (I must run) but they are one in the same. The term repent is poorly translated. The NIV accurately translate the Hebrew word that God does not change His mind.

[kjam22]

The King James uses "repent". In fact.. it says not the son of man that he should repent. We both know that all sons of men are in need of repentance. Because of the nature that we inherited from Adam. I think this is what the verse is speaking of.

I think "repent" is a better translation of the Hebrew text than "change his mind". Especially when the rest of the verse is taken in the context.
