He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
God's rebuke and correction and anger do not last forever, and He does not keep reproving or chiding without end nor hold on to anger for ever. He is slow to anger, patient, long-suffering, forbearing, compassionate, merciful, and abundant in loving-kindness. He does not treat people as their sins deserve nor repay them according to their wrongs. He pities people as a father pities his children, remembering their frailty.
He is ready to pardon and forgive, dealing tenderly rather than harshly with those who have sinned. He bears long and patiently with wrongdoers, giving warnings and allowing hardship and loss and affliction to turn them toward repentance and the Saviour. When people heed His warnings and put their hearts in order and set their hearts in order, He makes their way plain and clear. If they remain unresponsive, He eventually removes them like a fruitless tree.
