Micah 7:17-19

Revised Standard Version

¹⁷ they shall lick the dust like a serpent,
    like the crawling things of the earth;
they shall come trembling out of their strongholds,
    they shall turn in dread to the Lord our God,
    and they shall fear because of thee.

¹⁸ Who is a God like thee, pardoning iniquity
    and passing over transgression
    for the remnant of his inheritance?
He does not retain his anger for ever
    because he delights in steadfast love.
¹⁹ He will again have compassion upon us,
    he will tread our iniquities under foot.
Thou wilt cast all our^[a] sins
    into the depths of the sea.
