MERCY Micah 7:18 Part 2 of 2

 Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy.

of the remnant 
Joel 2:32  And everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the LORD has said, even among the survivors whom the LORD calls.
Amos 5:15  Hate evil, love good; maintain justice in the courts. Perhaps the LORD God Almighty will have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.
Micah 2:12  "I will surely gather all of you, Jacob; I will surely bring together the remnant of Israel. I will bring them together like sheep in a pen, like a flock in its pasture; the place will throng with people."

of his inheritance 
Exodus 34:9  "Lord," he said, "if I have found favor in your eyes, then let the Lord go with us. Although this is a stiff-necked people, forgive our wickedness and our sin, and take us as your inheritance."

You do not stay angry forever 
Psalm 103:9  He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; ...
Isaiah 54:9  "To me this is like the days of Noah, when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth. So now I have sworn not to be angry with you, never to rebuke you again."

but delight to show mercy 
2 Chronicles 30:9  "If you return to the LORD, then your fellow Israelites and your children will be shown compassion by their captors and will return to this land, for the LORD your God is gracious and compassionate. He will not turn his face from you if you return to him."
Jeremiah 31:20  "Is not Ephraim my dear son, the child in whom I delight? Though I often speak against him, I still remember him. Therefore my heart yearns for him; I have great compassion for him," declares the LORD.
Jeremiah 32:41  "I will rejoice in doing them good and will assuredly plant them in this land with all my heart and soul."
Ezekiel 18:23  "Do I take pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Sovereign LORD. Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live?"

In most English translations of the Old Testament, the divine name YHWH (Yahweh) is rendered "LORD" in capital letters to distinguish it from another Hebrew word, Adonai, which is rendered "Lord" in small letters. Whenever the two names stand together they are rendered "Sovereign LORD".
