The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise as some understand slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance.

The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
World English Bible (WEB)
The Lord{G2962} is{G1019} not{G3756} slack{G1019}{(G5719)} concerning his promise{G1860}, as{G5613} some men{G5100} count{G2233}{(G5736)} slackness{G1022}; but{G235} is longsuffering{G3114}{(G5719)} to{G1519} us-ward{G2248}, not{G3361} willing{G1014}{(G5740)} that any{G5100} should perish{G622}{(G5641)}, but{G235} that all{G3956} should come{G5562}{(G5658)} to{G1519} repentance{G3341}.
Strong's King James
(9) יהוה YAHWEH isn't hesitating with His vow, as some count hesitation but rather is patient towards you, not wanting anyone to perish but rather for everyone to come into a returning mind.
The F.O.G*
[9] The Master isn't being slow about keeping His promise, as some measure slowness. Instead, He's showing remarkable patience toward you, not wanting anyone to perish in their separation from Him. His heart yearns for everyone to turn from their destructive paths and embrace His transforming love.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
the Lord is not slow in regard to the promise, as certain count slowness, but is long-suffering to us, not counselling any to be lost but all to pass on to reformation,
