16 Nations will see and be ashamed,
    despite all their might;
they will put their hand on their mouth,
    and their ears will be deaf.
17 They will lick dust like the serpent,
    like crawling creatures of the earth;
they will come shuddering from their lairs.
    They will turn in dread to the Lord our God,
    and they will be afraid of You.
18 Who is a God like You,
    bearing iniquity and passing over transgression
    for the remnant of His inheritance?
He does not remain angry forever,
    because He delights in benevolence.

You do not stay angry(K) forever
    but delight to show mercy.(L)
