Turn from your burning anger and grelent from this disaster against your people. 13Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you hswore by your own self, and said to them, i‘I will multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have promised I will give to your offspring, and they shall inherit it forever.’” 14And the Lord jrelented from the disaster that he had spoken of bringing on his people.
