He is compassionate. He is gracious. he is slow to anger.  He is abounding in love. He is abounding in faithfulness.  Exodus 34 4  So Moses chiseled out two stone tablets like the first ones and went up Mount Sinai early in the morning, as the  Lord  had commanded him; and he carried the two stone tablets in his hands.   5  Then the  Lord  came down in the cloud and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the  Lord .   6  And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The  Lord , the  Lord , the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness,   7  maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave ...

But unless you repent, you too will all perish.   4  Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them—do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem?   5  I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.”
