Bible verse
Pardon, I pray, the iniquity of this people, in keeping with the greatness of Your loving devotion, just as You have forgiven them ever since they left Egypt.”
Numbers 14:19 · BSB
The verses around it, from Numbers 14.
15 If You kill this people as one man, the nations who have heard of Your fame will say,
16 ‘Because the LORD was unable to bring this people into the land He swore to give them, He has slaughtered them in the wilderness.’
17 So now I pray, may the power of my Lord be magnified, just as You have declared:
18 ‘The LORD is slow to anger and abounding in loving devotion, forgiving iniquity and transgression. Yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished; He will visit the iniquity of the fathers upon their children to the third and fourth generation.’
19 Pardon, I pray, the iniquity of this people, in keeping with the greatness of Your loving devotion, just as You have forgiven them ever since they left Egypt.”
20 “I have pardoned them as you requested,” the LORD replied.
21 “Yet as surely as I live and as surely as the whole earth is filled with the glory of the LORD,
22 not one of the men who have seen My glory and the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness—yet have tested Me and disobeyed Me these ten times—
23 not one will ever see the land that I swore to give their fathers. None of those who have treated Me with contempt will see it.
