Micah 7:18

God's Steadfast Love And Compassion

¹⁷ They will lick the dust like a snake, like serpents crawling on the ground. They will come trembling from their strongholds to the Lord our God; they will be terrified of you. ¹⁸ There is no other God like you! You forgive sin and pardon the rebellion of those who remain among your people. You do not remain angry forever, but delight in showing loyal love. ¹⁹ You will once again have mercy on us; you will conquer our evil deeds; you will hurl our sins into the depths of the sea.
