Micah 7:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 The nations shall see, and be confounded for all their power: they shall [a]lay their hand upon their mouth: [b]their ears shall be deaf.
17 They shall [c]lick the dust like a serpent: they shall move out of their holes like worms: they shall be afraid of the Lord our God, and shall fear because of thee.
18 Who is a God like unto thee, that taketh away iniquity, and [d]passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage! He retaineth not his wrath forever, because mercy pleaseth him.

Micah 7:16-18
New International Version
16 Nations will see and be ashamed,(A)
deprived of all their power.
They will put their hands over their mouths(B)
and their ears will become deaf.
17 They will lick dust(C) like a snake,
like creatures that crawl on the ground.
They will come trembling(D) out of their dens;
they will turn in fear(E) to the Lord our God
and will be afraid of you.
18 Who is a God(F) like you,
who pardons sin(G) and forgives(H) the transgression
of the remnant(I) of his inheritance?(J)
You do not stay angry(K) forever
but delight to show mercy.(L)
