- Deuteronomy 7:16
You must destroy all the peoples the LORD your God will deliver to you. Do not look on them with pity. Do not worship their gods, for that will be a snare to you.
Commentary on Deuteronomy 7:161 voice
And thou shall consume all the people which the Lord thy God shall deliver thee,.... All the inhabitants of the land of Canaan, which the Lord should deliver into their hands; them they were not to spare, but utterly destroy men, women, and children: thine eye shall have no pity upon them; See Gill on Deu 7:2, neither shall thou serve their gods, for that will be a snare unto thee; which will bring into utter ruin and destruction; see Exo 23:33.

Thine eye shall not pity him,....

- Deuteronomy 19:21
You must show no pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, and foot for foot.
Commentary on Deuteronomy 19:212 voices
And thine eye shall not pity,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Life - for life, eye for eye, etc. - The operation of such a law as this must have been very salutary: if a man prized his own members, he would naturally avoid injuring those of others. It is a pity that this law were not still in force: it would certainly prevent many of those savage acts which now both disgrace and injure society. I speak this in reference to law generally, and the provision that should be made to prevent and punish ferocious and malevolent offenses.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- Deuteronomy 25:11
If two men are fighting, and the wife of one steps in to rescue her husband from the one striking him, and she reaches out her hand and grabs his genitals,
Commentary on Deuteronomy 25:111 voice
When men strive together, one with another,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- Deuteronomy 25:12
you are to cut off her hand. You must show her no pity.
Commentary on Deuteronomy 25:122 voices
Then thou shall cut off her hand,.... Which was to be done not by the man that strove with her husband, or by any bystander, but by the civil magistrate or his order. This severity was used to deter women from such an immodest as well as injurious action, who on such an occasion are very passionate and inconsiderate.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
This is the only mutilation prescribed by the Law of Moses, unless we except the retaliation prescribed as a punishment for the infliction on another of bodily injuries Lev 24:19-20. The act in question was probably not rare in the times and countries for which the Law of Moses was designed. It is of course to be understood that the act was willful, and that the prescribed punishment would be inflicted according to the sentence of the judges.

- Isaiah 63:9
In all their distress, He too was afflicted, and the Angel of His Presence saved them. In His love and compassion He redeemed them; He lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.
Commentary on Isaiah 63:92 voices
(Verses 8-9) And He said: Yet My people are; sons not denying: and He became a Savior unto them. In all their affliction He was not afflicted, and the Angel of His presence saved them: in His love and in His pity He redeemed them, and He bore them, and carried them all the days of the age. 70: And he said: Not my people, the children will never reject.
Jerome· Commentary on Isaiah, 420Patristic
We say that these human things are his by an economic appropriation, along with the flesh all the things belonging to it. We recognize no other Son apart from him, for the Lord has saved us, giving his own blood as a ransom for the life of all.
Cyril of Alexandria· ON THE UNITY OF CHRIST, 444Patristic
- Matthew 18:27
His master had compassion on him, forgave his debt, and released him.
Commentary on Matthew 18:272 voices
Abundant is the bounty of God, and His clemency to sinners converted, seeing He is ever ready to forgive sins by baptism or penitence, as it follows, But the lord of that servant had mercy upon him, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
Remigius of Rheims· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 533Patristic
The servant therefore fell down prostrate before him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. Behold the power of repentance and the …
Theophylact of Ohrid· Commentary on Matthew, 1107Patristic
- Mark 6:34
When Jesus stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And He began to teach them many things.
Commentary on Mark 6:342 voices
The Pharisees, being ravenous wolves, did not shepherd the people but devoured them. Therefore the people, bypassing them, gather to Christ, the true Shepherd. And Christ gives them food—first the more profitable and precious kind, in word, and then bodily food as well.
Theophylact of Ohrid· Commentary on Mark, 1107Patristic
And Jesus, when he came out,.... Of the ship, and was got ashore, saw much people; who came partly from the places where he came from, and partly from the cities and towns adjacent: and was moved with compassion towards them; See Gill on Mat 14:14, the reason follows, because they were as sheep, not having a shepherd.

- James 5:11
See how blessed we consider those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen the outcome from the Lord. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
Commentary on James 5:112 voices
If you come to exemplars, the supreme Exemplar of all virtues is in Christ. Compared to the patience of Job, the patience of Christ is greater. "You have heard of the patience of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord," says James. …
Bonaventure· Collations on the Hexaemeron, Collation 18, 1257Patristic
Behold, we count them happy which endure,.... Affliction, with courage, constancy, and patience, and hold out to the end; for such shall be saved; theirs is the kingdom of heaven; they are happy now, and will be so hereafter: the Spirit of God, and of glory, now rests upon them; and it is an honour done them that they are counted worthy to suffer for Christ; and they will be glorified with him to all eternity; the consideration of which may serve to encourage and increase patience.
