7.18 :And passeth by the transgression of the remnant of Has heritage?
 * He retaineth not His anger for ever,
 * Because He delighteth in mercy.
 * He will again have compassion upon us;
 * He will subdue our iniquities;
 * And Thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
 * Thou wilt show faithfulness to Jacob, mercy to Abraham,
 * As Thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.

 * The is a jealous and avenging God,
 * The avengeth and is full of wrath;
 * The taketh vengeance on His adversaries,
 * And He reserveth wrath for His enemies.
 * The is long-suffering, and great in power,
 * And will by no means clear the guilty;
 * The, in the whirlwind and in the storm is His way,
 * And the clouds are the dust of His feet.
 * He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry,
 * And drieth up all the rivers;
 * Bashan languisheth, and Carmel,
 * And the flower of Lebanon languisheth.
 * The mountains quake at Him,
 * And the hills melt;
 * And the earth is upheaved at His presence,
 * Yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
 * Who can stand before His indignation?
 * And who can abide in the fierceness of His anger?
 * His fury is poured out like fire,
 * And the rocks are broken asunder before Him.
 * The is good,
 * A stronghold in the day of trouble;
 * And He knoweth them that take refuge in Him.
 * But with an overrunning flood
 * He will make a full end of the place thereof,
 * And darkness shall pursue His enemies.
 * What do ye devise against the ?
 * He will make a full end;
 * Trouble shall not rise up the second time.
 * For though they be like tangled thorns,
 * And be drunken according to their drink,
 * They shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.
 * Out of thee came he forth,
 * That deviseth evil against the ,
 * That counselleth wickedness.
