Deuteronomy 4:31

(for he ¹  is a merciful God), he will not let you down ²  or destroy you, for he cannot ³  forget the covenant with your ancestors that he confirmed by oath to them.

Ex 34:6,7; Le 26:42,45; Nu 14:18; 2Ch 30:9; Ne 1:5; Ne 9:31; Ps 86:5,15; Ps 105:8; Ps 111:5,9; Ps 116:5; Ps 145:8,9; Jer 14:21; Jon 4:2; Mic 7:18; Lu 1:72

¹ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 4:3.

² tn Heb “he will not drop you,” i.e., “will not abandon you” (cf. NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).

³ tn Or “will not.” The translation understands the imperfect verbal form to have an added nuance of capability here.
