Amplified 2015 Translator's Notes:
Literal renderings, alternate translations or explanations.

The expressions of regret and grief seen here do not mean that God acknowledged the creation of man as a mistake on His part. God is omniscient, knowing all things (Ps 139:16) and He knew that mankind would come into sin and wickedness. God grieved over the sin of man because it was appropriate for Him to do so.

And grieved His Holy Spirit;
Therefore He turned Himself to become their enemy,
He fought against them.
