For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
The Lord is good and ready to forgive, abundant and rich in mercy and forgiveness toward all who call upon Him. In that patience He gives transgressors time to hear the warning and to recognize the error of their beliefs before judgment comes. That forbearance does not mean He will acquit the wicked. Nor does it mean He will withhold judgment forever.
