Micah 7:17-19
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
17 they shall lick dust like a snake,
like the crawling things of the earth;
they shall come trembling out of their fortresses;
they shall turn in dread to the Lord our God,
and they shall stand in fear of you.(A)
God’s Compassion and Steadfast Love
18 Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity
and passing over the transgression
of the remnant of his possession?
He does not retain his anger forever
because he delights in showing steadfast love.(B)
19 He will again have compassion upon us;
he will tread our iniquities under foot.
You will cast all our[a] sins
into the depths of the sea.(C)
