3 [Então] o SENHOR se arrependeu disso: Isto não acontecerá,disse o SENHOR.

4 Assim o Senhor DEUS me fez ver: eis que o Senhor DEUS pretendeu executar juízo com fogo; e consumiu um grande abismo, assim como consumiu uma parte da terra.

6 [E] o SENHOR se arrependeu disso: Isto também não acontecerá, disse o Senhor DEUS.
