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

14 Shepherd your people with your staff, the flock of your inheritance, those dwelling alone [in] a forest in the midst of Carmel. Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as [in] the days of old.

15 As [in] the days when you came out from the land of Egypt I will show him wondrous things. 16 The nations will see and be ashamed because of all their might. They will lay [the] hand on [the] mouth; their ears will be deaf. 17 They will lick the dust like the serpent, like the crawling things of the earth. They will come trembling from their strongholds to Yahweh our God. Let them fear and be afraid of you.

18 Who [is] a God like you, forgiving sin and passing over rebellion for the remnant of his inheritance? He does not retain his anger forever, for he delights in loyal love. 19 {He will again have compassion} on us; he will trample our iniquities. And you will hurl all their sins in the depths of the sea. 20 You will show faithfulness to Jacob, and loyal love to Abraham, as you have sworn to our ancestors from the days of old.
