som bevarer Miskundhed mod Tusinder, som tilgiver Brøde, Overtrædelse og Synd, men ikke lader den skyldige ustraffet, som straffer Fædres Brøde på Børn og Børnebørn, på dem i tredje og fjerde Led!"

2404. Verse 15 As dawn ascended the angels pressed Lot to hurry, saying, Rise up, take your wife and your two daughters found [here], lest you are consumed in the iniquity of the city.
'As dawn ascended' means when the Lord's kingdom draws near. 'The angels pressed Lot to hurry' means that the Lord withheld them from evil and maintained them in good. 'Saying, Rise up, take your wife and two daughters found [here]' means the truth of faith, and the affections for truth and for good, 'found' meaning that these had been separated from evil. 'Lest you are consumed in the iniquity of the city' means lest they perished in evils deriving from falsity.
