6 And Jehovah went passing by before his face and declaring:* “Jehovah, Jehovah, a God* merciful+ and gracious,+ slow to anger+ and abundant in loving-kindness*+ and truth,*+

18 ‘Jehovah, slow to anger+ and abundant in loving-kindness,*+ pardoning error and transgression,+ but by no means will he give exemption from punishment,+ bringing punishment for the error of the fathers upon sons, upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation.’+

13 And rip apart YOUR hearts,+ and not YOUR garments;+ and come back to Jehovah YOUR God, for he is gracious and merciful,+ slow to anger+ and abundant in loving-kindness,*+ and he will certainly feel regret on account of the calamity.+

2 Hence he prayed to Jehovah* and said: “Ah, now, O Jehovah, was not this an affair of mine,* while I happened to be on my own ground? That is why I went ahead and ran away to Tarʹshish;+ for I knew that you are a God* gracious and merciful,+ slow to anger and abundant in loving-kindness,*+ and feeling regret over the calamity.+
