1 Samuel 15:27-29

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

²⁷ As Samuel turned to go away, Saul caught hold of the hem of his robe, and it tore. ²⁸ And Samuel said to him, ‘The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel from you this very day, and has given it to a neighbour of yours, who is better than you. ²⁹ Moreover, the Glory of Israel will not recant^[a] or change his mind; for he is not a mortal, that he should change his mind.’
