¹⁷ And now, I pray, let the power of my Lord be great, just as You have spoken, saying, ^18 (A)‘The Lord is longsuffering and abundant in mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He by no means clears the guilty, ^(B)visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation.’ ^19 (C)Pardon the iniquity of this people, I pray, ^(D)according to the greatness of Your mercy, just ^(E)as You have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.”
