18 p‘The Lord is slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, forgiving iniquity and transgression, but he will by no means clear the guilty, qvisiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, to the third and the fourth generation.’
5 I acknowledged my sin to you,
and I did not cover my iniquity;
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
and you xforgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah
2 You iforgave the iniquity of your people;
you jcovered all their sin. Selah
24 And no inhabitant will say, “I am sick”;
the people who dwell there will be gforgiven their iniquity.
2 Take with you words
and return to the Lord;
say to him,
“Take away all iniquity;
accept what is good,
and we will pay with bulls
the vows1 of our lips.
God’s Steadfast Love and Compassion
18 xWho is a God like you, ypardoning iniquity
and passing over transgression
for the zremnant of his inheritance?
aHe does not retain his anger forever,
because he delights in steadfast love.
