列王紀下 13:23

耶和華卻因與亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各所立的約，仍施恩給以色列人，憐恤他們，眷顧他們，不肯滅盡他們，尚未趕逐他們離開自己面前。

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.
