Micah 7:14-20 - Micah's Prayer Answered
14 Shepherd your people, the flock of your heritage, with your staff. They dwell alone in the forest in the midst of Carmel. Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
15 I will show them marvelous things like the days of your coming out of the land of Egypt. 16 The nations will see and be ashamed of all their might! They will cover their mouth with their hand and their ears will be deaf. 17 They will lick up the dust like a serpent. They will come trembling out of their hole like crawling things of the earth. They will approach Jehovah our God with fear and be afraid because of you.
18 Who is a God like you who pardons iniquity and passes over the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? You do not keep your anger forever, because you delight in loving-kindness (unchanging love). 19 You will again have compassion on us. You will tread our iniquities under foot. You will throw all our sins into the depths of the sea. 20 You will give truth to Jacob, and show loving-kindness (unchanging love) to Abraham. For you have sworn this to our fathers from the days of old.
