L'Éternel est lent à la colère et grand en puissance, et il ne tiendra nullement le coupable pour innocent. L'Éternel, -son chemin est dans le tourbillon et dans la tempête, et la nue est la poussière de ses pieds.

In our daily lives, we can trust that God is patient with us but also holds us accountable for our actions. Just as a parent might wait before reacting to a child's misbehavior but will eventually address it, God is just and fair in all His dealings.
