1 Samuel 15:29

And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent.

KJV

Porro triumphator in Israël non parcet, et pœnitudine non flectetur : neque enim homo est ut agat pœnitentiam.

Vulgate

LXX

And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent; for he is not a man, that he should repent.
