The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
רַח֣וּם וְחַנּ֣וּן יְהוָ֑ה אֶ֖רֶךְ אַפַּ֣יִם וְרַב־חָֽסֶד׃
Psalm 103:8
The same idea in other traditions
We sent thee not, but as a Mercy for all creatures.
The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; Slow to anger, and of great mercy. The LORD is good to all; And His tender mercies are over all His works.
Although His thrall shall miss the road and err, / ’Tis but to teach him wisdom through distress, / Else Pardon and Compassionate Mercy were / But empty syllables and meaningless. …
On me (place) your mind, become my devotee, sacrifice to me, reverence me, you will certainly come to me. I declare to you truly, you are dear to me. Forsaking all duties, come to me as (your) sole refuge. I will release you from all sins. Be not grieved.
Tao has of all things the most honoured place. No treasures give good men so rich a grace; Bad men it guards, and doth their ill efface. … Why was it that the ancients prized this Tao so much? Was it not because it could be got by seeking for it, and the guilty could escape (from the stain of their guilt) by it? This is the reason why all under heaven consider it the most valuable thing.
