Micah 7:14-20
Christian Standard Bible
Micah’s Prayer Answered
14 Shepherd your people(A) with your staff,(B)
the flock that is your possession.
They live alone(C) in a woodland
surrounded by pastures.
Let them graze in Bashan and Gilead(D)
as in ancient times.(E)
15 I will perform miracles for them[a]
as in the days of your exodus
from the land of Egypt.(F)
16 Nations will see and be ashamed
of[b] all their power.
They will put their hands over their mouths,(G)
and their ears will become deaf.
17 They will lick the dust like a snake;(H)
they will come trembling out of their hiding places(I)
like reptiles slithering on the ground.(J)
They will tremble in the presence of the Lord our God;(K)
they will stand in awe of you.
18 Who is a God like you,(L)
forgiving iniquity and passing over rebellion(M)
for the remnant of his inheritance?(N)
He does not hold on to his anger forever(O)
because he delights in faithful love.(P)
19 He will again have compassion on us;
he will vanquish our iniquities.(Q)
You will cast all our[c] sins
into the depths of the sea.(R)
20 You will show loyalty to Jacob(S)
and faithful love to Abraham,
as you swore to our ancestors(T)
from days long ago.
Micah 7:14-20
International Standard Version
14 Use your rod to shepherd your people,
the flock that belongs to you,
that lives alone in the forest of Carmel.
Let them find pasture in Bashan and Gilead,
as they did long ago.
15 As I did when[a] you came out of the land of Egypt,
I will show you[b] awesome things.
16 The nations will look on
and will be ashamed in spite of all their power;
they will cup their hands over their mouths,
and their ears will be deaf.
17 They will lick the dust like a serpent;
they will crawl from their strongholds like snakes.
They will fear the Lord our God.
They will be terrified because of you.
Who is like God?
18 Is there any God like you,
forgiving iniquity,
passing over transgressions by the survivors who are your[c] heritage?[d]
He is not angry forever,
because he delights in gracious love.
19 He will again show us compassion;
he will subdue our iniquities.
You will hurl all their sins into the deepest sea.
20 You will remain true to Jacob,
and merciful to Abraham,
as you promised our ancestors long ago.
