Micah 7:16-18
New American Standard Bible 1995
16 Nations (A)will see and be ashamed
Of all their might.
They will (B)put their hand on their mouth,
Their ears will be deaf.
17 They will (C)lick the dust like a serpent,
Like (D)reptiles of the earth.
They will come (E)trembling out of their [a]fortresses;
To the Lord our God they will come in (F)dread
And they will be afraid before You.
18 Who is a God like You, who (G)pardons iniquity
And passes over the rebellious act of the (H)remnant of His [b]possession?
He does not (I)retain His anger forever,
Because He (J)delights in [c]unchanging love.

Micah 7:16-18
New International Version
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)
