Micah 7:8-9
New King James Version
Israel’s Confession and Comfort
8 (A)Do not rejoice over me, my enemy;
(B)When I fall, I will arise;
When I sit in darkness,
The Lord will be a light to me.
9 (C)I will bear the indignation of the Lord,
Because I have sinned against Him,
Until He pleads my (D)case
And executes justice for me.
He will bring me forth to the light;
I will see His righteousness.
Micah 7:18-20
New King James Version
18 (A)Who is a God like You,
(B)Pardoning iniquity
And passing over the transgression of (C)the remnant of His heritage?
(D)He does not retain His anger forever,
Because He delights in (E)mercy.[a]
19 He will again have compassion on us,
And will subdue our iniquities.
You will cast all [b]our sins
Into the depths of the sea.
20 (F)You will give truth to Jacob
And [c]mercy to Abraham,
(G)Which You have sworn to our fathers
From days of old.
