Old Testament
Gen. 4:13-15
“And Cain said unto the Lord, ‘My punishment is greater than I can bear. Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.’
And the Lord said unto him, ‘Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.’ And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.”
Gen. 20:4-7
“But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, ‘Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation? Said he [Abraham] not unto me, ‘She is my sister?’ and she, even she herself said, ‘He is my brother:’ in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this.’
And God said unto him in a dream, ‘Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against Me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her. Now therefore restore the man his wife;'”
Gen. 21:16-20
“…she [Hagar] sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept. And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, ‘What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is. Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.’ And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink. And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.”
Ex. 3:7, 9 “And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows… Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto Me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.”
[Most of the Israelites were shortly condemned to die in the wilderness, not having faith, being reprobates, says Heb. 4:1-6.]
Ex. 22:21-24 “Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child. If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry; And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword;”
2 Kings 13:1-5
“Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned seventeen years. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom…
He delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, all their days. And Jehoahaz besought the Lord, and the Lord hearkened unto him: for He saw the oppression of Israel, because the king of Syria oppressed them. And the Lord gave Israel a saviour, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians:”
2 Chron. 6:32-33
“Moreover concerning the stranger, which is not of thy people Israel, but is come from a far country for thy great name’s sake, and thy mighty hand, and thy stretched out arm; if they come and pray in this house; Then hear Thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to Thee for; that all people of the earth may know thy name, and fear Thee, as doth thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.”
Job 34:19-28
“…Him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands. In a moment shall they die…
For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and He seeth all his goings. There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead. Therefore He knoweth their works, and He overturneth them in the night…
Because they turned back from Him, and would not consider any of his ways: So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and He heareth the cry of the afflicted.”
Ps. 106:14-15 “But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert. And He gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.”
Ps. 106:40-45 “Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance… Many times did He deliver them; but they provoked Him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity. Nevertheless He regarded their affliction, when He heard their cry: And He remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.”
Ps. 107:17-21 “Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and He saveth them out of their distresses. He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!”
Ps. 107:23-31 “They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; These see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep… They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit’s end. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and He bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven. Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!”
Ps. 136:25 “Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for ever.”
Ps. 145:8-9, 21 “The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works… and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.”
Isa. 26:9-10 “…for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness:”
Dan. 4:33-36
“Nebuchadnezzar… was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven…
And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation. And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and He doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth…
At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me…”
Jonah 1:7, 14-15
“So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not…
Wherefore they cried unto the Lord, and said, ‘We beseech thee, O Lord, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man’s life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O Lord, hast done as it pleased thee.’ So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.”
Jonah 2:8 “They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.”
Jonah 3:4-10
“Jonah… cried, and said, ‘Yet forty days and Nineveh shall be overthrown.’ So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them…
the king of Nineveh… caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh… saying, ‘…let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?’
And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil that He had said that He would do unto them; and He did it not.”

The Death of Death in the Death of Christ… (1647) in Works, vol. 10.205
“The foundation of this whole assertion seems to me to be false and erroneous – namely that God could not have mercy on mankind unless satisfaction were made by his Son.”
