Luke

And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.

For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

And therefore will the Lord wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the Lord is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.
