For you, O Lord, are seen face to face, and fyour cloud stands over them and you go before them, in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night. 15Now if you kill this people as one man, then the nations who have heard your fame will say, 16‘It is because the Lord gwas not able to bring this people into the land that he swore to give to them that he has killed them in the wilderness.’ 17And now, please let the power of the Lord be great as you have promised, saying, 18 h‘The Lord is slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, forgiving iniquity and transgression, but he will by no means clear the guilty, ivisiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, to the third and the fourth generation.’ 19Please jpardon the iniquity of this people, according to the greatness of your steadfast love, just kas you have forgiven this people, from Egypt until now.”God Promises Judgment
