Micah 7:18

God's Steadfast Love And Compassion

¹⁷ They will lick the dust like a snake;
they will come trembling out of their hiding places
like reptiles slithering on the ground.
They will tremble in the presence of Yahweh our God;
they will stand in awe of You. ¹⁸ Who is a God like You,
removing iniquity and passing over rebellion
for the remnant of His inheritance?
He does not hold on to His anger forever,
because He delights in faithful love.
¹⁹ He will again have compassion on us;
He will vanquish our iniquities.
You will cast all our sins
into the depths of the sea.
