17But now, I pray, let the power of the Lord be great, just as You have declared, 18‘The Lord is slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generations.’ Pardon, I pray, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of Your lovingkindness, just as You also have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.” 20So the Lord said, “I have pardoned them according to your word; 21but indeed, as I live, all the earth will be filled with the glory of the Lord.
