Exodus 34:6-7
And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The
Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in
goodness and truth, Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity
and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the
guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and
upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth
generation.

sin offering, so shall he do with this: and the priest shall make an

The Lord is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity
and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting
the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and
fourth generation. Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this
people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast
forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now. And the Lord said,
I have pardoned according to thy word:
Numbers 15:25
And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of
the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is
ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by
fire unto the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord, for
their ignorance:
2 Samuel 12:13
And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And
Nathan said unto David, The Lord also hath put away thy sin; thou
shalt not die.
1 Kings 8:22-50
And Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in the presence of
all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward
heaven: And he said, Lord God of Israel, there is no God like
thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and
mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart:
Who hast kept with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst
him: thou spakest also with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with
thine hand, as it is this day. Therefore now, Lord God of Israel,
keep with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him,
saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the
throne of Israel; so that thy children take heed to their way, that
they walk before me as thou hast walked before me. And now, O God of
Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spakest
unto thy servant David my father. But will God indeed dwell on the
earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee;
how much less this house that I have builded? Yet have thou respect
unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O Lord my
God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer, which thy servant
prayeth before thee to day: That thine eyes may be open toward this
house night and day, even toward the place of which thou hast
said, My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken unto the
prayer which thy servant shall make toward this place. And hearken
thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel,
when they shall pray toward this place: and hear thou in heaven thy
dwelling place: and when thou hearest, forgive. If any man trespass
against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to
swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house: Then hear
thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the
wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and justifying the
righteous, to give him according to his righteousness. When thy
people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, because they have
sinned against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and confess thy
name, and pray, and make supplication unto thee in this house: Then
hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and
bring them again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers.
When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have
sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy
name, and turn from their sin, when thou afflictest them: Then hear
thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy
people Israel, that thou teach them the good way wherein they should
walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy
people for an inheritance. If there be in the land famine, if there
be pestilence, blasting, mildew, locust, or if there be
caterpiller; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their
cities; whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness there be; What
prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy
people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own
heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house: Then hear thou
in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every
man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou,
even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;)
That they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land
which thou gavest unto our fathers. Moreover concerning a stranger,
that is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country
for thy name's sake; (For they shall hear of thy great name, and of
thy strong hand, and of thy stretched out arm;) when he shall come
and pray toward this house; Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place,
and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for: that
all people of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as do thy
people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I have
builded, is called by thy name. If thy people go out to battle
against their enemy, whithersoever thou shalt send them, and shall
pray unto the Lord toward the city which thou hast chosen, and
toward the house that I have built for thy name: Then hear thou in
heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their
cause. If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth
not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so
that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far
or near; Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither
they were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication unto
thee in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have
sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness; And
so return unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul,
in the land of their enemies, which led them away captive, and pray
unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers,
the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built
for thy name: Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in
heaven thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause, And forgive thy
people that have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions
wherein they have transgressed against thee, and give them
compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have
compassion on them:

mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

*A Psalm of David.* Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is
within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and
forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who
healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction;
who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who
satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is
renewed like the eagle's. The Lord executeth righteousness and
judgment for all that are oppressed. He made known his ways unto
Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel. The Lord is merciful
and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. He will not
always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. He hath not
dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our
iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is
his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the
west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. Like as a
father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear
him. For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be
red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
Isaiah 38:16-19
O Lord, by these things men live, and in all these things is the
life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live.
Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to
my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast
cast all my sins behind thy back. For the grave cannot praise thee,
death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit
cannot hope for thy truth. The living, the living, he shall praise
thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make
known thy truth.

have redeemed thee.

he shall not die. None of his sins that he hath committed shall be
mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he
shall surely live.

water: But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry
mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way,
and from the violence that is in their hands. Who can tell if
God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that
we perish not? And God saw their works, that they turned from their
evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he
would do unto them; and he did it not.
Micah 7:18-19
Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth
by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth

which would take account of his servants. And when he had begun to
reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand
talents. But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him
to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and
payment to be made. The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped
