Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obatin mercy.
I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep anger for ever.
I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
In thy days I will not do it for David thy father's sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.
It is enough: stay now thine hand.
The character of a people may be ruined by charity.
