Isaiah 43:25

I, even I Whom thou hast thus despised, and wearied, and provoked to destroy thee; am he that blotteth out thy transgressions Out of my book, in which they were all written, to be read unto thee, and charged upon thee at a future day. Sins are often compared to debts, (Matthew 6:12, &c.,) written in the creditor's book, and crossed or blotted out when they are paid. For mine own sake Being moved thereunto, not by thy merits, but by my own mere goodness and free mercy. And will not remember thy sins So as to punish them, and destroy thee for them, as thou deservest.
