There’s no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death.

Isaiah 57:15-16
New Living Translation
15 The high and lofty one who lives in eternity,
the Holy One, says this:
“I live in the high and holy place
with those whose spirits are contrite and humble.
I restore the crushed spirit of the humble
and revive the courage of those with repentant hearts.
16 For I will not fight against you forever;
I will not always be angry.
If I were, all people would pass away—
all the souls I have made.
