I think the scriptures you quoted are saying that the very nature of God never changes, but there are instances in the Bible where God changes his mind, regrets or has a change of heart. Frequent scriptures seem to suggest that God alters his actions in response to man’s behavior.
I found Gavin Beers and Kevin De Young’s presentations on the doctrine of the impassibility of God to be profoundly insightful on this issue. I wish you guys would listen to their presentations and give a critique of the same.

Malachi 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
Seems that God Himself declares that He does not change.
