For thou, Lord, {art} good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he {is} gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.

But thou, O Lord, {art} a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

The LORD {is} gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. {of great...: Heb. great in mercy}

Who {is} a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth {in} mercy.

For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

The LORD {is} merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. {plentious...: Heb. great in mercy}

The LORD {is} longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing {the guilty}, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth {generation}.

Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.

But he, {being} full of compassion, forgave {their} iniquity, and destroyed {them} not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.

And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. {the unrighteous...: Heb. the man of iniquity} {abundantly...: Heb. multiply to pardon}

Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked {him} with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity. {brought...: or, impoverished, or, weakened}

The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us:

They remembered not his hand, {nor} the day when he delivered them from the enemy. {from...: or, from affliction}

Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked {him} at the sea, {even} at the Red sea.

And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.

They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel: {They soon...: Heb. They made haste, they forgat}

To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?

Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word: {the pleasant...: Heb. a land of desire}

But {there is} forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more {shall not} we {escape}, if we turn away from him that {speaketh} from heaven:

And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper.

To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust {him} from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,

And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them?

Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up. {put...: Heb. bore out}

Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know {them}, and be established in the present truth.

And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,

The LORD {is} merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. {plentious...: Heb. great in mercy}

But thou, O Lord, {art} a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

For thou, Lord, {art} good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not {through} the way of the land of the Philistines, although that {was} near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt:

The LORD {is} slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit {the wicked}: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds {are} the dust of his feet.

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

Charity suffereth long, {and} is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, {vaunteth...: or, is not rash}

Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.

Nevertheless for thy great mercies' sake thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake them; for thou {art} a gracious and merciful God.

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

Who {is} a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth {in} mercy.

For if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your children {shall find} compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for the LORD your God {is} gracious and merciful, and will not turn away {his} face from you, if ye return unto him.

And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he {is} gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.

To the Lord our God {belong} mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him;

And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it {is} a stiffnecked people:

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words.

With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;

Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.

But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear. {pulled...: Heb. they gave a backsliding shoulder} {stopped: Heb. made heavy}

But they made light of {it}, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:

Gracious {is} the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God {is} merciful.

Because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD their God, but transgressed his covenant, {and} all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and would not hear {them}, nor do {them}.

Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.
