詩篇 30:5
For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.
因為，他的怒氣不過是轉眼之間；他的恩典乃是一生之久。一宿雖然有哭泣，早晨便必歡呼。
耶利米書 31:20
Is not Ephraim my dear son, the child in whom I delight? Though I often speak against him, I still remember him. Therefore my heart yearns for him; I have great compassion for him," declares the Lord.
耶和華說：以法蓮是我的愛子嗎？是可喜悅的孩子嗎？我每逢責備他，仍深顧念他；所以我的心腸戀慕他；我必要憐憫他。
詩篇 89:30
- 33
"If his sons forsake my law and do not follow my statutes,
if they violate my decrees and fail to keep my commands,
I will punish their sin with the rod, their iniquity with flogging;
but I will not take my love from him, nor will I ever betray my faithfulness.
倘若他的子孫離棄我的律法，不照我的典章行，
背棄我的律例，不遵守我的誡命，
我就要用杖責罰他們的過犯，用鞭責罰他們的罪孽。
只是我必不將我的慈愛全然收回，也必不叫我的信實廢棄。
以賽亞書 54:7
- 8
"For a brief moment I abandoned you, but with deep compassion I will bring you back.
In a surge of anger I hid my face from you for a moment, but with everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you," says the Lord your Redeemer.
我離棄你不過片時，卻要施大恩將你收回。
我的怒氣漲溢，頃刻之間向你掩面，卻要以永遠的慈愛憐恤你。這是耶和華你的救贖主說的。
詩篇 103:8
- 10
The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.
He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever;
he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.
耶和華有憐憫，有恩典，不輕易發怒，且有豐盛的慈愛。
他不長久責備，也不永遠懷怒。
他沒有按我們的罪過待我們，也沒有照我們的罪孽報應我們。
