Ver. 8. Turn from their evil.] If I may see such work among them, as at Nineveh God did. Jon 3:10 He saw not their sackcloth and their ashes, but their repentance and works - those fruits of their faith.
I will repent of the evil.] Not by any change of my will, but by the willing of a change: mutatione Rei non Dei.
