🏔️ Forgiving beside Isaiah 27:9
When forgiving is loud, Isaiah 27:9 is a sentence you can borrow. “Therefore by this the iniquity of Jacob will be forgiven, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: that he makes all the stones of the altar as chalk stones that are beaten in pieces, so that the Asherah poles and the incense altars shall rise no more.” The other two verses on this page stay with the same need.

Parent tip
If the feeling is bigger than a verse, stay in the room. Isaiah 27:9 is a companion, not a fix-it line. The other two verses are for a second night if this one is enough.
