Isaiah 5:25
Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Despite wandering and hard-heartedness, the Lord's hand remains stretched out toward His people. Despite neglect and ingratitude, that outstretched hand is still extended toward them. That continuing reach is Christ's patience bearing with human weakness and waywardness.
