Micah 7:17-19
New American Standard Bible
17 They will (A)lick up dust like a snake,
Like [a](B)reptiles of the earth.
They will come (C)trembling out of their [b]fortresses;
To the Lord our God they will come in (D)trepidation,
And they will be afraid of You.
18 Who is a God like You, who (E)pardons wrongdoing
And passes over a rebellious act of the (F)remnant of His [c]possession?
He does not (G)retain His anger forever,
Because He (H)delights in mercy.
19 He will again take pity on us;
(I)He will trample on our wrongdoings.
Yes, You will (J)cast all [d]their sins
Into the depths of 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)
