The nations will see and be shamed because of all their strength; they will put their hands on their mouths, their ears will be stopped.

Who is a God like you, offering forgiveness for evil-doing and overlooking the sins of the rest of his heritage? he does not keep his wrath for ever, because his delight is in mercy.

He will again have pity on us; he will put our sins under his feet: and you will send all our sins down into the heart of the sea.
