Micah 7:14-20

Prayer and Praise 14Shepherd your people with your staff, the flock of your inheritance, which lives by itself in a forest, in fertile pasturelands. Or in the middle of Carmel Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead as in days long ago.

15“As in the days when you came out of Egypt, I will show them my wonders.”

16Nations will see and be ashamed, deprived of all their power. They will put their hands over their mouths and their ears will become deaf.

17They will lick dust like a snake, like creatures that crawl on the ground. They will come trembling out of their dens; they will turn in fear to the LORD our God and will be afraid of you.

18Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy.

19You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea. 20You will be faithful to Jacob, and show love to Abraham, as you pledged on oath to our ancestors in days long ago.
