Micah's Prayer Answered

15 According to the days of thy coming forth out of the land of Egypt, I do shew it wonderful things. 16 See do nations, and they are ashamed of all their might, They lay a hand on the mouth, their ears are deaf. 17 They lick dust as a serpent, as fearful things of earth, They tremble from their enclosures, Of Jehovah our God they are afraid, Yea, they are afraid of Thee.
