¹⁵ for to Moses He saith, `I will do kindness to whom I do kindness, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion;'

¹⁹ and He saith, `I cause all My goodness to pass before thy face, and have called concerning the Name of Jehovah before thee, and favoured him whom I favour, and loved him whom I love.'

¹⁶ so, then -- not of him who is willing, nor of him who is running, but of God who is doing kindness:

⁶ and Jehovah passeth over before his face, and calleth: `Jehovah, Jehovah God, merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth,

⁷ keeping kindness for thousands, taking away iniquity, and transgression, and sin, and not entirely acquitting, charging iniquity of fathers on children, and on children's children, on a third `generation', and on a fourth.'

¹⁸ Who `is' a God like Thee? taking away iniquity, And passing by the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance, He hath not retained for ever His anger, Because He -- He delighteth `in' kindness.

¹⁸ so, then, to whom He willeth, He doth kindness, and to whom He willeth, He doth harden.

¹⁹ Thou wilt say, then, to me, `Why yet doth He find fault? for His counsel who hath resisted?'

¹¹ In the withering of its branch it is broken off, Women are coming in setting it on fire, For it `is' not a people of understanding, Therefore pity it not doth its Maker, And its Former doth not favour it.
