God Will Forgive Israel

14 Shepherd Your people with Your staff,

The flock of Your heritage,

Who dwell 7solitarily in a twoodland,

In the midst of Carmel;

Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead,

As in days of old.

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

I will show 8them vwonders.”

16 The nations wshall see and be ashamed of all their might;

xThey shall put their hand over their mouth;

Their ears shall be deaf.

17 They shall lick the ydust like a serpent;

zThey shall crawl from their holes like 9snakes of the earth.

aThey shall be afraid of the Lord our God,

And shall fear because of You.

18 bWho is a God like You,

cPardoning iniquity

And passing over the transgression of dthe remnant of His heritage?

eHe does not retain His anger forever,

Because He delights in fmercy. 1

19 He will again have compassion on us,

And will subdue our iniquities.

You will cast all 2our sins

Into the depths of the sea.
