Micah 7:16-18

Modern English Version

¹⁶ Nations will see and be ashamed,
    despite all their might;
they will put their hand on their mouth,
    and their ears will be deaf.
¹⁷ They will lick dust like the serpent,
    like crawling creatures of the earth;
they will come shuddering from their lairs.
    They will turn in dread to the Lord our God,
    and they will be afraid of You.
¹⁸ Who is a God like You,
    bearing iniquity and passing over transgression
    for the remnant of His inheritance?
He does not remain angry forever,
    because He delights in benevolence.
