18 The Lord is (A)slow to anger, and of great mercy, and (B)forgiving iniquity and sin, but not making the wicked innocent, and (C)visiting the wickedness of the fathers upon the children, in the third and fourth generation:

19 Be merciful, I beseech thee, unto the iniquity of this people, according to thy great mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people from Egypt, even until now.

20 And the Lord said, I have forgiven [a]it, according to thy request.
