- God saw:
- "And it came to pass,¹ when Ahabª heardª°¹ those¹ words,ª that he rentª° his clothes,ª and putª° sackclothª upon¹ his flesh,ª and fasted,ª° and layª° in sackcloth,ª and wentª° softly.ª ... Seestª° thou how¹ Ahabª humbleth²° himself¹ beforeª¹ me? becauseª¹ he humbleth²° himself¹ beforeª¹ me, I will not¹ bringª° the evilª in his days:ª [but] in his son'sª daysª will I bringª° the evilª upon¹ his house.ª" {1Kg 21:27-29} + "He lookethª° upon¹ men,²¹ and [if any] say,ª° I have sinned,ª° and pervertedª° [that which was] right,ª and it profitedª° me not;¹ ... He will deliverª° his soulª from goingª°¹ into the pit,ª and his lifeª shall seeª° the light.ª" {Job 33:27-28} + "I have surely²° heardª° Ephraimª bemoaning²° himself¹ [thus]; Thou hast chastisedª° me, and I was chastised,ª° as a bullockª unaccustomedªª° [to the yoke]: turnª° thou me, and I shall be turned;ª° for¹ thou¹ [art] the LORDª my God.ª ... [Is] Ephraimª my dearª son?ª [is he] a pleasantª child?ª for¹ sinceª¹ I spakeª° against him, I do earnestly²° rememberª° him still:¹ therefore¹¹ my bowelsª are troubledª° for him; I will surely²° have mercyª° upon him, saithª° the LORD.ª" {Jer 31:18-20} + "The menª of Nineveª shall rise upª° inª the¹ judgmentª withª thisª generation,ª andª shall condemnª° it:ª forª they repentedª° atª the¹ preachingª of Jonas;ª and,ª behold,ª° a greater¹ than² Jonasª [is] here.ª" {Lke 11:32} + "Andª he arose,ª° and cameª° toª hisª father.ª Butª when heª was yet² a great way² off,ª°¹¹ hisª fatherª sawª° him,ª andª had compassion,ª° andª ran,ª° and fellª° onª hisª neck,ª andª kissedª° him.ª" {Lke 15:20}
