17. So now, let the power of my Lord be great, just as you have said,
18. ‘The Lord is slow to anger and abounding in loyal love, forgiving iniquity and transgression, but by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children until the third and fourth generations.’
19. Please forgive the iniquity of this people according to your great loyal love, just as you have forgiven this people from Egypt even until now.”
20. Then the Lord said, “I have forgiven them as you asked.
21. But truly, as I live, all the earth will be filled with the glory of the Lord.
22. For all the people have seen my glory and my signs that I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and yet have tempted me now these ten times, and have not obeyed me,
23. they will by no means see the land that I swore to their fathers, nor will any of them who despised me see it.
