Thematic Bible: The lord being compassionate


Thematic Bible



Who is a God like you who pardons iniquity and passes over the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? You do not keep your anger forever, because you delight in loving-kindness (unchanging love). You will again have compassion on us. You will tread our iniquities under foot. You will throw all our sins into the depths of the sea. You will give truth to Jacob, and show loving-kindness (unchanging love) to Abraham. For you have sworn this to our fathers from the days of old.


he will restore your fortunes. He will have mercy on you and gather you from all the nations of the world where he has scattered you.

In spite of all this they still sinned. They did not believe in his wonderful works. He brought their days to an end like a whisper in the wind. He brought their years to an end in terror.

They remembered that God was their rock, that the Most High was their defender. They flattered him with their mouths and lied to him with their tongues. Their hearts were not loyal to him. They were not faithful to his promise. But he is compassionate. He forgave their sin. He did not destroy them. He restrained his anger many times. He did not display all of his fury.

He has made his miracles unforgettable. Jehovah is gracious and compassionate.

Jehovah says: I have something to say about Israel's neighbors who have ruined the land I gave to my people Israel. I will take those wicked people away from their countries like an uprooted plant, and I will rescue Judah from them. But after I have taken them away I will have mercy on them. I will bring each nation back to its own land and to its own country.

Jehovah does not give a man up for a very long time. For though he sends grief, still he will have pity in the full measure of his love. He takes no pleasure in troubling and causing grief to the children of men, it is not within his heart. read more.
A man crushes under his feet all the prisoners of the earth. He turns away the judgment of a man before the face of the Most High. Jehovah would not seek to deprive a man of justice.
