Joel 2:13

Tear your hearts,
not [just] your clothes,
and turn to the Lord (Yahweh) your God (Elohim),
for he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger and abounding in (overflowing with) kindness (caring love) –
and he refrains from (comforting sorrow – Hebr. nacham) evil.
[Quote from Ex. 34:6, after the events with the golden calf.]

καὶ διαρρήξατε τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν καὶ μὴ τὰ ἱμάτια ὑμῶν καὶ ἐπιστράφητε πρὸς κύριον τὸν θεὸν ὑμῶν ὅτι ἐλεήμων καὶ οἰκτίρμων ἐστίν μακρόθυμος καὶ πολυέλεος καὶ μετανοῶν ἐπὶ ταῖς κακίαις
