Psalms 78:38

38 Yet he, being ⁱcompassionate,
^jatoned for their iniquity
and did not destroy them;
he restrained his anger often
and did not stir up all his wrath.

Psalms 103:8-18

8 The Lord is ^kmerciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
9 ^lHe will not always chide,
nor will he ^mkeep his anger forever.
10 He does not deal with us ⁿaccording to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For ^oas high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his ^psteadfast love toward ^qthose who fear him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far does he ^rremove our transgressions from us.
13 As ^sa father shows compassion to his children,
so the Lord shows compassion ^tto those who fear him.
14 For he knows our frame; ^{▼▼Or knows how we are formed}
he ^vremembers that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are like ^wgrass;
he flourishes like ^xa flower of the field;
16 for ^ythe wind passes over it, and ^zit is gone,
and ^aaits place knows it no more.
17 But ^abthe steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on ^acthose who fear him,
and his righteousness to ^adchildren’s children,
18 to those who ^aekeep his covenant
and ^afremember to do his commandments.

Isaiah 55:7-9

7 let the wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him,
and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
9 ^aiFor as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Joel 2:13

13 and ^ajrend your hearts and not ^akyour garments.”
