And the whole congregation sent word to the sons of Benjamin who were at the rock of Rimmon, and proclaimed peace to them.

He will not always strive with us, nor will He keep His anger forever.

He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us according to our iniquities.

Except Jehovah of Hosts had left us a small remnant, we would be as Sodom; we would be as Gomorrah.

O Jehovah, though our iniquities testify against us, work for Your name's sake; for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against You.

for though He causes grief, yet He will have compassion according to the multitude of His kindness.

Jehovah, I have heard the report of You, and am afraid. Jehovah, preserve Your work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember compassion.
