About
Jeremiah 7:31 They have built the high places of Topheth in the Valley of Ben Hinnom to burn their sons and daughters in the fire--something I did not command, nor did it enter my mind.. , the word "nor" clarifies that certainly God did not foresee that action. How else can one read that wording? Regardless, every command implies an ability to choose, and that implies the choice is not predetermined.
As for the knowledge of God, rather than quote wall after wall of passages, I'd like to direct you to an article
The Omniscience of God which includes many many passages of Scripture.
