God's Holy Anger
While the verse says God was "grieved," commentators explain this word signifies more than sadness. The original language suggests a holy anger, disgust, and wrath against persistent sin. Scholars like A.T. Robertson and Charles Ellicott note the term implies extreme displeasure. This reveals that God is not indifferent to rebellion; He has a righteous and powerful reaction to it.
