Micah 7:17-19

Common English Bible

¹⁷ They will lick dust like the snake,
        like things that crawl on the ground.
They will come trembling from their strongholds to the Lord our God;
        they will dread and fear you!
¹⁸ Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity,
        overlooking the sin of the few remaining for his inheritance?
    He doesn’t hold on to his anger forever;
        he delights in faithful love.
¹⁹ He will once again have compassion on us;
        he will tread down our iniquities.
You will hurl all our sins into the depths of the sea.
