Micah 7:14-20

New American Standard Bible 1995

^14 (A)Shepherd Your people with Your ^(B)scepter,
The flock of Your ^[a]possession
Which dwells by itself in the woodland,
In the midst of ^[b]a fruitful field.
Let them feed in ^(C)Bashan and Gilead
^(D)As in the days of old.
¹⁵ “As in the days when you came out from the land of Egypt,
I will show ^[c](E)you miracles.”
¹⁶ Nations ^(F)will see and be ashamed
Of all their might.
They will ^(G)put their hand on their mouth,
Their ears will be deaf.
¹⁷ They will ^(H)lick the dust like a serpent,
Like ^(I)reptiles of the earth.
They will come ^(J)trembling out of their ^[d]fortresses;
To the Lord our God they will come in ^(K)dread
And they will be afraid before You.
¹⁸ Who is a God like You, who ^(L)pardons iniquity
And passes over the rebellious act of the ^(M)remnant of His ^[e]possession?
He does not ^(N)retain His anger forever,
Because He ^(O)delights in ^[f]unchanging love.
¹⁹ He will again have compassion on us;
^(P)He will tread our iniquities under foot.
Yes, You will ^(Q)cast all ^[g]their sins
Into the depths of the sea.
²⁰ You will give ^[h](R)truth to Jacob
And ^[i]unchanging love to Abraham,
Which You ^(S)swore to our forefathers
From the days of old.
