Micah 7:16-18

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁶ The nations will see those miracles,
    and they will be ashamed.
They will see that their “power”
    is nothing compared to mine.
They will be amazed
    and put their hands over their mouths.
They will cover their ears
    and refuse to listen.
¹⁷ They will crawl in the dust like a snake.
    They will shake with fear.
They will be like insects crawling
    from their holes in the ground
    and coming to the Lord our God.
God, they will fear and respect you!

¹⁸ There is no God like you.
    You take away people’s guilt.
    God will forgive his people who survive.
He will not stay angry with them forever,
    because he enjoys being kind.
