3 From far away Jehovah himself appeared to me, [saying:] “And with a love to time indefinite I have loved you.*+ That is why I have drawn you with loving-kindness.*+

22 It is the acts of loving-kindness*+ of Jehovah that we have not come to our finish,+ because his mercies will certainly not come to an end.+

18 Who is a God* like you,+ one pardoning error and passing over transgression+ of the remnant of his inheritance?+ He will certainly not hold onto his anger forever, for he is delighting in loving-kindness.*+
