Micah 7:16-18

Common English Bible

¹⁶ Nations will see and be ashamed of all their strength;
        they will cover their mouths;
        their ears will be deaf.
¹⁷ They will lick dust like the snake,
        like things that crawl on the ground.
They will come trembling from their strongholds to the Lord our God;
        they will dread and fear you!
¹⁸ Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity,
        overlooking the sin of the few remaining for his inheritance?
    He doesn’t hold on to his anger forever;
        he delights in faithful love.
