God's Unhuman Forgiveness
Commentators overwhelmingly agree that this verse directly explains God's capacity to "abundantly pardon" (v. 7). Human thoughts on forgiveness are limited, conditional, and often grudging. God declares that His thoughts are not like ours; His readiness and capacity to forgive are infinitely greater, as different from ours as the heavens are from the earth.
