Micah 7:11-20

11It will be a day for 1building your walls. On that day will your boundary be extended.12It will be a day when 2they will 3come to you From Assyria and the cities of Egypt, From Egypt even to the 4Euphrates, Even from sea to sea and mountain to mountain.13And the earth will become 5desolate because of her inhabitants, On account of the 6fruit of their deeds.

147Shepherd Your people with Your 8scepter, The flock of Your 9possession Which dwells by itself in the woodland, In the midst of 10a fruitful field. Let them feed in 11Bashan and Gilead 12As in the days of old.15“As in the days when you came out from the land of Egypt, I will show 1314you miracles.”16Nations 15will see and be ashamed Of all their might. They will 16put their hand on their mouth, Their ears will be deaf.17They will 17lick the dust like a serpent, Like 18reptiles of the earth. They will come 19trembling out of their 20fortresses; To the Lord our God they will come in 21dread And they will be afraid before You.18Who is a God like You, who 22pardons iniquity And passes over the rebellious act of the 23remnant of His 24possession? He does not 25retain His anger forever, Because He 26delights in 27unchanging love.19He will again have compassion on us; 28He will tread our iniquities under foot. Yes, You will 29cast all 30their sins Into the depths of the sea.20You will give 3132truth to Jacob And 33unchanging love to Abraham, Which You 34swore to our forefathers From the days of old.
