Amos 7:3
So the LORD relented from this plan. “It will not happen,” He said.
BSB
ASV
Jehovah repented concerning this: It shall not be, saith Jehovah.
KJV
The Lord repented for this: It shall not be, saith the Lord.
The Lord repented for this - God is said to “repent, to have strong compassion upon” or “over” evil, which He has either inflicted Deu 32:36; 1Ch 21:15, or has said that He would inflict Exo 32:12; Joe 2:13; Jon 3:10; Jer 18:8, and which, upon repentance or prayer, He suspends or checks. Here, Amos does not intercede until after the judgment had been, in part, inflicted.
