Thematic Bible: The lord being slow to anger


Thematic Bible



Yahweh is slow to anger but great [in] power; he will certainly not allow [the guilty] to go unpunished. {He marches} in storm wind and in gale; storm clouds [are the] dust of his feet.

Yahweh [is] compassionate and gracious, {slow to anger} and abundant in loyal love. He does not dispute continually, nor keep [his anger] forever.


"And even now," {declares} Yahweh, "return to me with all your heart, with fasting, and weeping, and wailing." Rend your hearts and not your garments, and return to Yahweh your God, because he [is] gracious and compassionate, {slow to anger} and great in loyal love, and relenting from harm.
