Study

       

18 The Lord is slow to wrath and great in mercy, overlooking wrongdoing and evil, and will not let wrongdoers go free; sending punishment on children for the sins of their fathers, to the third and fourth generation.

Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 18. That the Lord in reality is pure love, and abundant in mercy; that He will remove evil internally and externally from those who repent; and that only those who deliberately choose evil will remain in it, because evil which is increased and confirmed by falsity in a long series, is conjoined with that falsity and becomes permanent.
