6 And Jehovah went passing by before his face and declaring:* “Jehovah, Jehovah, a God* merciful+ and gracious,+ slow to anger+ and abundant in loving-kindness*+ and truth,*+

3 Jehovah your God must also bring back your captives*+ and show you mercy+ and collect you again from all the peoples where Jehovah your God has scattered you.+

9 For when YOU return+ to Jehovah, YOUR brothers and YOUR sons will be objects of mercy+ before those holding them captive, and be allowed to return to this land;+ for Jehovah YOUR God is gracious+ and merciful,+ and he will not turn away the face from YOU if YOU return to him.”+

31 And in your abundant mercy you did not make an extermination of them+ or leave+ them; for you are a God* gracious+ and merciful.+

7 “For a little moment* I left you entirely,+ but with great mercies I shall collect you together.+

7 Let the wicked man leave his way,+ and the harmful man his thoughts;+ and let him return to Jehovah, who will have mercy upon him,+ and to our God, for he will forgive in a large way.+

3 Blessed be the God and Father+ of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies+ and the God of all comfort,+
