Deuteronomy 32:36-37

32:36 The Lord will judge his people,

and will change his plans concerning ¹  his servants;

the rock in whom they sought security,

[32:36]  ¹ tn The translation understands the verb in the sense of “be grieved, relent” (cf. HALOT 689 s.v. נחם hitp 2); cf. KJV, ASV “repent himself”; NLT “will change his mind.” Another option is to translate “will show compassion to” (see BDB 637 s.v. נחם); cf. NASB, NIV, NRSV.
