New Century Version NCV
New International Version NIV
7 There may come a time when I will speak about a nation or a kingdom that I will pull up by its roots or that I will pull down to destroy it.
7
If at any time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down and destroyed,
8 But if the people of that nation stop doing the evil they have done, I will change my mind and not carry out my plans to bring disaster to them.
8
and if that nation I warned repents of its evil, then I will relent and not inflict on it the disaster I had planned.
9 There may come another time when I will speak about a nation that I will build up and plant.
9
And if at another time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be built up and planted,
10 But if I see it doing evil by not obeying me, I will change my mind and not carry out my plans to do good for them.
10
and if it does evil in my sight and does not obey me, then I will reconsider the good I had intended to do for it.
