Micah 7:17-19

Modern English Version

¹⁷ They will lick dust like the serpent,
    like crawling creatures of the earth;
they will come shuddering from their lairs.
    They will turn in dread to the Lord our God,
    and they will be afraid of You.
¹⁸ Who is a God like You,
    bearing iniquity and passing over transgression
    for the remnant of His inheritance?
He does not remain angry forever,
    because He delights in benevolence.
¹⁹ He will again have compassion upon us.
    He will tread down our iniquities,
    and cast all of our sins into the depths of the sea.
