⁶ And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord ^(A)God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in ^(B)goodness and ^(C)truth,

^7 (A)keeping mercy for thousands, ^(B)forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, ^(C)by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children to the third and the fourth generation.”

⁹ Then he said, “If now I have found grace in Your sight, O Lord, ^(A)let my Lord, I pray, go among us, even though we are a ^(B)stiff-necked^[a] people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us as ^(C)Your inheritance.”
