I'll be gracious to whom I'll be gracious, and I'll show compassion on whom I'll show compassion. 20 But,| he said, |You cannot see my face, because a man cannot see me and live.| 21 The LORD said, |Look, there is a place near me where you can stand on the rock; 22 and as my glory passes by, I'll put you in a crevice in the rock, and cover you with my hand until I've passed by. 23 Then I'll remove my hand so you may see my back, but my face must not be seen.| Exodus 33:16-23, Intl.
