Jeremias 18:8 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 18:8

If that nation against whom I have pronounced
Such a sentence as this, should immediately, upon the above declaration, do as Nineveh did: turn from their evil;
their evil of sin, their evil ways and works, as an evidence of the truth of their repentance for former sins: I will repent of the evil that one thought to do unto them;
as they change their course of life, God will change the dispensations of his providence towards them, and not bring upon them the evil of punishment he threatened them with; in which sense repentance can only be understood of God, he doing that which is similar to what men do when they repent of anything; they stop their proceedings, and change their outward conduct; so God proceeds not to do what he threatened to do, and changes his outward behaviour to men; he wills a change, and makes one in his methods of acting, but never changes his will.

Jeremias 18:8 In-Context

6 “Ó comunidade de Israel, será que eu não posso agir com vocês como fez o oleiro?”, pergunta o SENHOR. “Como barro nas mãos do oleiro, assim são vocês nas minhas mãos, ó comunidade de Israel.
7 Se em algum momento eu decretar que uma nação ou um reino seja arrancado, despedaçado e arruinado,
8 e se essa nação que eu adverti converter-se da sua perversidade, então eu me arrependerei e não trarei sobre ela a desgraça que eu tinha planejado.
9 E, se noutra ocasião eu decretar que uma nação ou um reino seja edificado e plantado,
10 e se ele fizer o que eu reprovo e não me obedecer, então me arrependerei do bem que eu pretendia fazer em favor dele.
