Micah 7:16-18
English Standard Version
16 (A)The nations shall see and be ashamed of all their might;
(B)they shall lay their hands on their mouths;
their ears shall be deaf;
17 (C)they shall lick the dust like a serpent,
like the crawling things of the earth;
(D)they shall come trembling out of their strongholds;
(E)they shall turn in dread to the Lord our God,
and they shall be in fear of you.
God's Steadfast Love and Compassion
18 (F)Who is a God like you, (G)pardoning iniquity
and passing over transgression
(H)for the remnant of his inheritance?
(I)He does not retain his anger forever,
because he delights in steadfast love.
