This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
as Admah ... Zeboim - among the cities, including Sodom and Gomorrah, irretrievably overthrown (Deu 29:23).
heart is turned within me - with the deepest compassion, so as not to execute My threat (Lam 1:20; compare Gen 43:30; 1Ki 3:26). So the phrase is used of a new turn given to the feeling (Psa 105:25).
repentings - God speaks according to human modes of thought (Num 23:19). God’s seeming change is in accordance with His secret everlasting purpose of love to His people, to magnify His grace after their desperate rebellion.
