列王纪下 13:23

耶和华却因与亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各所立的约，仍施恩给以色列人，怜恤他们，眷顾他们，不肯灭尽他们，尚未赶逐他们离开自己面前。

yē hé huá què yīn yǔ yà bó lā hǎn 、 yǐ sā 、 yǎ gè suǒ lì de yuē ， réng shī ēn gěi yǐ sè liè rén ， lián xù tā men ， juàn gù tā men ， bù kěn miè jìn tā men ， shàng wèi gǎn zhú tā men lí kāi zì jǐ miàn qián 。

But the LORD was gracious to them, and had compassion on them, and favored them because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them and he didn’t cast them from his presence as yet.
