¹⁷ “So show your strength now, Lord. Do what you said: ¹⁸ ‘The Lord doesn’t become angry quickly, but he has great love. He forgives sin and law breaking. But the Lord never forgets to punish guilty people. When parents sin, he will also punish their children, their grandchildren, their great-grandchildren, and their great-great-grandchildren.’ ¹⁹ By your great love, forgive these people’s sin, just as you have forgiven them from the time they left Egypt until now.”
