Micah 7:14-20 - Micah's Prayer Answered

¹⁴ Shepherd Your people with Your staff,
the flock that is Your possession.
They live alone in a woodland
surrounded by pastures.
Let them graze in Bashan and Gilead
as in ancient times.

¹⁵ I will perform miracles for them
as in the days of your exodus
from the land of Egypt.
¹⁶ Nations will see and be ashamed
of all their power.
They will put their hands over their mouths,
and their ears will become deaf.
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.
²⁰ You will show loyalty to Jacob
and faithful love to Abraham,
as You swore to our fathers
from days long ago.
