In Genesis 6:6, which still troubles some readers today, Yahweh says he was sorry he created humans; it grieved him to his heart (because they kept sinning, which led God to drown everyone). How can someone the Jews claim to be the true God seem so indecisive, not to mention prone to reactive humanlike emotions? So the Greek translation simply gets rid of that idea altogether. Instead of being sorry, the Lord thought deeply; instead of grieving, he pondered.
