Exegesis
A second relative clause with ʾă-šer and the Qal perfect verb ḥā-šaḇ-tî {חָשַבְתִּי | ḥā-šaḇ-tî} articulates the intended action, and the infinitive construct la-ʿă-śōṯ {לַעֲשׂוֹת | la-ʿă-śōṯ} with the pronominal suffix lō completes the apodosis. This protasis–apodosis structure highlights the conditional nature of divine mercy and judgment.
In context — Jeremiah 18:8
And if that nation turns from its evil , which I have spoken concerning it, then I will relent concerning the evil which I intended to do to it.
