Micah 7:11-20
11It will be a day for 1building your walls. On that day your boundary will 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 Euphrates River, Even from sea to sea and mountain to mountain.13And the earth will become a 4wasteland because of her inhabitants, On account of the 5fruit of their deeds.
146Shepherd Your people with Your 7scepter, The flock of Your 8possession Which lives by itself in the woodland, In the midst of 9a fruitful field. Let them feed in 10Bashan and Gilead 11As in the days of old.15“As in the days when you went out from the land of Egypt, I will show 1213you miracles.”16Nations 14will see and be ashamed Of all their might. They will 15put their hand on their mouth, Their ears will be deaf.17They will 16lick up dust like a snake, Like 1718reptiles of the earth. They will come 19trembling out of their 20fortresses; To the Lord our God they will come in 21trepidation, And they will be afraid of You.18Who is a God like You, who 22pardons wrongdoing And passes over a rebellious act of the 23remnant of His 24possession? He does not 25retain His anger forever, Because He 26delights in mercy.19He will again take pity on us; 27He will trample on our wrongdoings. Yes, You will 28cast all 29their sins Into the depths of the sea.20You will give 3031truth to Jacob And favor to Abraham, Which You 32swore to our forefathers From the days of old.
