Romans 11:29

27 For ^athis is My covenant with them,
When I take away their sins.”

28 Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are ^abeloved for the sake of the fathers.

29 For the gifts and the calling of God are ^airrevocable.

30 For as you ^awere once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience,

31 even so these also have now been disobedient, that through the mercy shown you they also may obtain mercy.

32 For God has¹ committed them ^aall to disobedience, that He might have mercy on all.

33 Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!

34 “For who has known the ^amind of the Lord?
Or ^bwho has become His counselor?”

35 “Or^a who has first given to Him
And it shall be repaid to him?”

36 For ^aof Him and through Him and to Him are all things, ^bto whom be glory forever. Amen.

Romans 11:29

For the gifts and calling of God, etc. - The gifts which God has bestowed upon them, and the calling - the invitation, with which he has favored them he will never revoke. In reference to this point there is no change of mind in him; and therefore the possibility and certainty of their restoration to their original privileges, of being the people of God, of enjoying every spiritual blessing with the fullness of the Gentiles, may be both reasonably and safely inferred.

Repentance, when applied to God, signifies simply change of purpose relative to some declarations made subject to certain conditions. See this fully explained and illustrated by himself, Jeremiah 18:7-9.
