NETBible

(for he 1  is a merciful God), he will not let you down 2  or destroy you, for he cannot 3  forget the covenant with your ancestors that he confirmed by oath to them.

NET Notes

1 tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 4:3.

2 tn Heb “he will not drop you,” i.e., “will not abandon you” (cf. NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).

3 tn Or “will not.” The translation understands the imperfect verbal form to have an added nuance of capability here.
