17 They will lick the dust like snakes;
they will emerge from their fortresses trembling
like reptiles that crawl about on the earth;
they will come with fear to Adonai our God,
afraid because of you.

18 Who is a God like you,
pardoning the sin and overlooking the crimes
of the remnant of his heritage?

19 He will again have compassion on us,
he will subdue our iniquities.
You will throw all their sins
into the depths of the sea.
