Micah 7:14–20

^14aShepherd Your people with Your ^bscepter,

The flock of Your ¹possession

Which dwells by itself in the woodland,

In the midst of ²a fruitful field.

Let them feed in ^cBashan and Gilead

^dAs in the days of old.

¹⁵“As in the days when you came out from the land of Egypt,

I will show ^1ayou miracles.”

¹⁶Nations ^awill see and be ashamed

Of all their might.

They will ^bput their hand on their mouth,

Their ears will be deaf.

¹⁷They will ^alick the dust like a serpent,

Like ^breptiles of the earth.

They will come ^ctrembling out of their ¹fortresses;

To the Lord our God they will come in ^ddread

And they will be afraid before You.

¹⁸Who is a God like You, who ^apardons iniquity

And passes over the rebellious act of the ^bremnant of His ¹possession?

He does not ^cretain His anger forever,

Because He ^ddelights in ²unchanging love.

¹⁹He will again have compassion on us;

^aHe will tread our iniquities under foot.

Yes, You will ^bcast all ¹their sins

Into the depths of the sea.

²⁰You will give ^1atruth to Jacob

And ²unchanging love to Abraham,

Which You ^bswore to our forefathers

From the days of old.
