Exodus 34:6

God's love Grace God's faithfulness Mercy and compassion

⁴ So Moses chiseled out two stone tablets like the originals. He rose early in the morning, and taking the two stone tablets in his hands, he went up Mount Sinai as the LORD had commanded him.

⁵ And the LORD descended in a cloud, stood with him there, and proclaimed His name, the LORD.

Then the LORD passed in front of Moses and called out: “The LORD, the LORD God, is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion and faithfulness,

⁷ maintaining loving devotion to a thousand generations, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin. Yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished; He will visit the iniquity of the fathers on their children and grandchildren to the third and fourth generations.”

⁸ Moses immediately bowed down to the ground and worshiped.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
