Micah 7:14 - 7:20

Shepherd Your people with Your scepter,

The flock of Your inheritance

Which dwells by itself in the forest,

In the midst of a fruitful orchard.

Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead

As in the ancient days.

“As in the days when you came out from the land of Egypt,

I will show you wondrous deeds.”

Nations will see and be ashamed

Of all their might.

They will put their hand on their mouth;

Their ears will be deaf.

They will lick the dust like a serpent,

Like crawling things of the earth.

They will come trembling out of their fortresses;

To Yahweh our God they will come in dread,

And they will be afraid before You.

Who is a God like You, who forgives iniquity

And passes over the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance?

He does not hold fast to His anger forever

Because He delights in lovingkindness.

He will again have compassion on us;

He will subdue our iniquities.

And You will cast all their sins

Into the depths of the sea.

You will give truth to Jacob

And lovingkindness to Abraham,

Which You swore to our fathers

From the days of old.
