17 They will lick dust like the serpent,
    like crawling creatures of the earth;
they will come shuddering from their lairs.
    They will turn in dread to the Lord our God,

18 Who is a God like You,
    bearing iniquity and passing over transgression
    for the remnant of His inheritance?

19 He will again have compassion upon us.
    He will tread down our iniquities,
    and cast all of our sins into the depths of the sea.
