tuvo bondad y misericordia de los israelitas y no los destruyó por completo. Tuvo compasión de ellos por el pacto que había hecho con Abraham, Isaac y Jacob; y hasta el día de hoy no los ha destruido por completo ni los ha expulsa... Read verse in Nueva Traducción Viviente">
And the Lord was gracious to them
To Israel, notwithstanding their apostasy from him, and the idolatry of the calves they were guilty of:
and had compassion on them;
being in oppression and distress:
and had respect unto them;
looked upon them with an eye of pity and mercy:
because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob;
made so long ago he still remembered:
and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as
yet;
or suffered them to be carried captive into another land, as he afterwards did in the times of Hoshea.
