Explain the following verses

1. Genesis 6:6
And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his
heart.

Repent is to turn from sin. And dedicate oneself to the amedments of ones life. If we
begin with the omniscience and omnipotence of God as our postulates, everything upon
earth must be determined. If we start with mans free will, everything will depend upon
human choice and action. Both these sides must be true, though our mental powers are
too limited.

2. Jonah 3:10
When God saw their deeds, that they turned from their wicked way, then God relented
concerning the calamity which He had declared He would bring upon them. And He did
not do it.

God saw humans committed to unrighteous act. He warn, if the humans do not return
from their evil ways and they still committeth sin, within forty days God will destroy the
city. Therefore they repented, works which showed that they did most earnestly repent
and regret.
God therefore changed his purpose and the city was saved.
