Young's Literal Translation YLT
New International Version NIV
7 The moment I speak concerning a nation, And concerning a kingdom, To pluck up and to break down, and to destroy,
7
If at any time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down and destroyed,
8 And that nation hath turned from its evil, Because I have spoken against it, Then I have repented of the evil that I thought to do to it.
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 And the moment I speak concerning a nation, And concerning a kingdom, to build, and to plant,
9
And if at another time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be built up and planted,
10 And it hath done the evil thing in Mine eyes, So as not to hearken to My voice, Then I have repented of the good That I have spoken of doing to it.
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.
