Let it

And He remembered His covenant for their sake,
And relented [rescinding their sentence] according to the greatness of His lovingkindness [when they cried out to Him],

For the Lord will judge His people
And He will have compassion on His servants [revealing His mercy].

So the Lord changed His mind about the harm which He had said He would do to His people.

“For the Lord will vindicate His people,
And will have compassion on His servants,
When He sees that their strength (hand) is gone,
And none remains, whether bond or free.

How can I give you up, O Ephraim?
How can I surrender you, O Israel?
How can I make you like Admah?
How can I treat you like Zeboiim?
My heart recoils within Me;
All My compassions are kindled together [for My nation of Israel].

The Lord revoked this sentence.
“It shall not take place,” said the Lord.

Who knows, God may turn [in compassion] and relent and withdraw His burning anger (judgment) so that we will not perish.”
