6 And Jehovah went passing by before his face and declaring:* “Jehovah, Jehovah, a God* merciful+ and gracious,+ slow to anger+ and abundant in loving-kindness*+ and truth,*+

18 ‘Jehovah, slow to anger+ and abundant in loving-kindness,*+ pardoning error and transgression,+ but by no means will he give exemption from punishment,+ bringing punishment for the error of the fathers upon sons, upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation.’+

17 So they refused to listen,+ and they did not remember+ your wonderful acts that you performed with them, but they hardened their neck+ and appointed a head+ to return to their servitude in Egypt.* But you are a God* of acts of forgiveness,+ gracious+ and merciful,+ slow to anger+ and abundant+ in loving-kindness, and you did not leave them.+
