Micah 7:18-20

New International Reader's Version

¹⁸ Lord, who is a God like you?
    You forgive sin.
You forgive your people
    when they do what is wrong.
You don’t stay angry forever.
    Instead, you take delight in showing
    your faithful love to them.
¹⁹ Once again you will show loving concern for us.
    You will completely wipe out
    the evil things we’ve done.
You will throw all our sins
    into the bottom of the sea.
²⁰ You will be faithful to Jacob’s people.
    You will show your love
    to Abraham’s children.
You will do what you promised to do for our people.
    You made that promise long ago.
