Micah 7:15-17
EasyEnglish Bible
15 Lord, you did great things long ago,
when you brought us out of the land of Egypt.
Do great things like that again.
16 The people in other countries will see what you do.
They will understand that they are not really powerful.
So then they will be ashamed.
They will be like deaf people and dumb people.
17 They will be like snakes that move along the ground.
They will be afraid and they will eat dust like snakes.[a]
They will come carefully out of their safe places,
because they are afraid of you, the Lord our God.
Footnotes
- 7:17 ‘Eat dust’ means ‘show that they will obey you’.

like creatures that crawl on the ground.
They will come trembling(E) out of their dens;
they will turn in fear(F) to the Lord our God
