The prophet continues

16 Nations will see and be ashamed of all their strength;
        they will cover their mouths;
        their ears will be deaf.
17 They will lick dust like the snake,
        like things that crawl on the ground.
They will come trembling from their strongholds to the Lord our God;
        they will dread and fear you!
18 Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity,
        overlooking the sin of the few remaining for his inheritance?
    He doesn’t hold on to his anger forever;
        he delights in faithful love.

16 Nations will see and be ashamed,(A)
    deprived of all their power.
They will put their hands over their mouths(B)
    and their ears will become deaf.
17 They will lick dust(C) like a snake,
    like creatures that crawl on the ground.
They will come trembling(D) out of their dens;
    they will turn in fear(E) to the Lord our God
    and will be afraid of you.
18 Who is a God(F) like you,
    who pardons sin(G) and forgives(H) the transgression
    of the remnant(I) of his inheritance?(J)
You do not stay angry(K) forever
    but delight to show mercy.(L)
