Exodus 34:6-7
34:6 The
Lord passed by before him and proclaimed:
“The
Lord, the
Lord,
the compassionate and gracious
God, slow to anger,
and abounding in loyal love and faithfulness,
34:7 keeping loyal love for thousands,
forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin. But he by no means leaves the guilty unpunished, responding to the transgression
of fathers by dealing with children and children’s children, to the third and fourth generation.”
Nehemiah 9:17
9:17 They refused to obey and did not recall your miracles that you had performed among them. Instead, they rebelled and appointed a leader to return to their bondage in Egypt.
But you are a God of forgiveness, merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and unfailing in your loyal love.
You did not abandon them,

Jonah 4:2
4:2 He prayed to the
Lord and said, “Oh,
Lord, this is just what I thought
would happen
when I was in my own country.
This is what I tried to prevent
by attempting to escape to Tarshish!
– because I knew
that you are gracious and compassionate, slow to anger
and abounding
in mercy, and one who relents concerning threatened judgment.
James 1:19
