Berean Standard Bible

Micah 7:14-20

14Shepherd with Your staff Your people, the flock of Your inheritance. They live alone in a woodland, surrounded by pastures.1 Let them graze in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.

15As in the days when you came out of Egypt,I will show My wonders.16Nations will see and be ashamed,deprived of all their might.They will put their hands over their mouths,and their ears will become deaf.17They will lick the dust like a snake,like reptiles slithering on the ground.They will come trembling from their strongholdsin the presence of the LORD our God;they will tremble in fear of You.

18Who is a God like You,who pardons iniquityand passes over the transgressionof the remnant of His inheritance—who does not retain His anger forever,because He delights in loving devotion?219He will again have compassion on us;He will vanquish our iniquities.You will cast out all our sinsinto the depths of the sea.20You will show faithfulness to Jacoband loving devotion to Abraham,as You swore to our fathersfrom the days of old.
