TSK · Matthew 18:27

They put away the foreign gods from among them, and served Yahweh; and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.

But he, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and didn't destroy them. Yes, many times he turned his anger away, and didn't stir up all his wrath.

But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth.

"How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I hand you over, Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I make you like Zeboiim? My heart is turned within me, my compassion is aroused.
