If God doesn't change his mind, why does it sometimes appear that way (Numbers 23:19)?

"God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent.  Hath he said and shall he not do it?  Hath he spoken and shall he not make it good?" -- KJV

"God is no mere human!  He doesn't tell lies or change his mind.  
God always keeps his promises." (Numbers 23:19). -- CEV
