Micah 7:17-19
Contemporary English Version
17 because of their fear of me,
your Lord and God.
Then they will come trembling,
crawling out of their fortresses
like insects or snakes,
lapping up the dust.
No One Is Like God
The people said:
18 Our God, no one is like you.
We are all that is left
of your chosen people,
and you freely forgive
our sin and guilt.
You don't stay angry forever;
you're glad to have pity
19 and pleased to be merciful.
You will trample on our sins
and throw them in the sea.
Micah 7:17-19
New International Version
17 They will lick dust(A) like a snake,
like creatures that crawl on the ground.
They will come trembling(B) out of their dens;
they will turn in fear(C) to the Lord our God
and will be afraid of you.
18 Who is a God(D) like you,
who pardons sin(E) and forgives(F) the transgression
of the remnant(G) of his inheritance?(H)
You do not stay angry(I) forever
but delight to show mercy.(J)
19 You will again have compassion on us;
you will tread our sins underfoot
and hurl all our iniquities(K) into the depths of the sea.(L)
