17 They will lick the dust like the serpent,
    like the crawling things of the earth.
They will come trembling from their strongholds
    to Yahweh our God.
    Let them fear and be afraid of you.
18 Who is a God like you, forgiving sin
    and passing over rebellion for the remnant of his inheritance?
He does not retain his anger forever,
    for he delights in loyal love.
19 He will again have compassion[a] on us;
    he will trample our iniquities.
And you will hurl all their sins
    in the depths of the sea.
