If you come back and obey the Lord, then your relatives and your children will find mercy from the people that captured them. And your relatives and your children will come back to this land. The Lord your God is kind and merciful. He will not turn away from you if you come back to him.
But God was merciful.\par He forgave them for their sins.\par And he did not destroy them.\par Many times God controlled his anger.\par He didn‘t let himself become too angry.\par
I will remember that the Lord is kind.\par And I will remember to praise the Lord.\par The Lord gave many good things to the family of Israel.\par The Lord has been very kind to us.\par The Lord showed mercy to us.\par
But you must be careful! Be sure that as long as you live you never forget the things you have seen. You must teach those things to your children and grandchildren.
