Micah 7:17

Read in context

Micah 7:15–19 · Berean Standard Bible

15 As in the days when you came out of Egypt, I will show My wonders.

16 Nations will see and be ashamed, deprived of all their might. They will put their hands over their mouths, and their ears will become deaf.

17 They will lick the dust like a snake, like reptiles slithering on the ground. They will crawl from their holes in the presence of the LORD our God; they will tremble in fear of You.

18 Who is a God like You, who pardons iniquity and passes over the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance— who does not retain His anger forever, because He delights in loving devotion?

19 He will again have compassion on us; He will vanquish our iniquities. You will cast out all our sins into the depths of the sea.
