    declares the Lord,
“search will be made for Israel’s guilt,
    but there will be none,^(A)
and for the sins^(B) of Judah,
    but none will be found,
    for I will forgive^(C) the remnant^(D) I spare.

¹⁸ Who is a God^(A) like you,
    who pardons sin^(B) and forgives^(C) the transgression
    of the remnant^(D) of his inheritance?^(E)
You do not stay angry^(F) forever
    but delight to show mercy.^(G)

²⁷ And this is^[a] my covenant with them
    when I take away their sins.”^[b](A)
