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,
Psalms 103:8
103:8 The Lord is compassionate and merciful;
he is patient and demonstrates great loyal love.
Nahum 1:3
1:3 The Lord is slow to anger but great in power;
the Lord will certainly not allow the wicked to go unpunished.
The Divine Warrior Destroys His Enemies but Protects His People
He marches out in the whirlwind and the raging storm;
dark storm clouds billow like dust under his feet.
James 1:19-20
