Micah 7:17-19
New American Standard Bible 1995
17 They will (A)lick the dust like a serpent,
Like (B)reptiles of the earth.
They will come (C)trembling out of their [a]fortresses;
To the Lord our God they will come in (D)dread
And they will be afraid before You.
18 Who is a God like You, who (E)pardons iniquity
And passes over the rebellious act of the (F)remnant of His [b]possession?
He does not (G)retain His anger forever,
Because He (H)delights in [c]unchanging love.
19 He will again have compassion on us;
(I)He will tread our iniquities under foot.
Yes, You will (J)cast all [d]their sins
Into the depths of the sea.

they will turn in fear(C) to the Lord our God
and will be afraid of you.

who pardons sin(E) and forgives(F) the transgression

you will tread our sins underfoot
and hurl all our iniquities(K) into the depths of the sea.(L)
