SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 7:14–20: A prayer to the LORD for restoration, and praise for his mercy

This section has two main parts. The first part, 7:14–17, contains prayers to the LORD for the restoration of his people and the defeat of their enemies. The second part, 18–20, is a hymn of praise to the LORD for his compassion and his faithful relationship with Israel. These Notes and the Display will assume that the main speaker is Micah, who speaks as a representative of the people.This suggestion is favored by EBC, JFB, TOTC, Mangum, and Waltke 2007. Commentators who suggest that the speaker is the people, collectively, include Achtemeier, NICOT, WBC, and UBS. However, in 7:15 and in 18–20 there are brief changes of speaker and/or addressee. See the notes under paragraph 7:14–17 and under paragraph 7:18–20 for more detailed discussion.

Here are some other examples of section headings:

Prayer and Praise (NIV)

The Lord’s compassion on Israel (NLT)

Paragraph 7:18–20

In this paragraph, the subject changes. In 7:14–17, the subject was the nations’ response to the marvelous things that the LORD would do. In this paragraph, the subject is the character of the LORD and his relationship to Israel.

The literary form of this paragraph is probably a hymn.Waltke 2007 (page 444). Micah is the speaker. He represents people of Israel who believe in the LORD. In this hymn, the addressee alternates between the LORD and the people. In 7:18a–c, Micah addresses the LORD. In 7:18d–19b, he addresses the people. In 7:19c–7:20, he again addresses the LORD. The main themes are God’s love and his forgiveness of sin.

Some versions place a heading here. For example:

God’s Compassion and Steadfast Love (NRSV)

No One is Like God (CEV)

7:19a–c

Notice the parallel parts that are similar in meaning:

19a He will again have compassion upon us;

19b He will vanquish our iniquities.

19c You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.

In these lines, Micah continues to talk about God’s love, which he shows by showing compassion and forgiving sin. The first line is a general statement. The second and third lines give more detail.

In Hebrew, the pronouns in these lines vary. Micah refers to God as “He” in 19a–b, and “You” in 19c. This variety of pronouns may be a characteristic of the poetry of this hymn. However, in some languages, it may be preferable to use a second-person pronoun to refer to God in all three lines, and a first-person pronoun to refer to the people in all three lines. For example:

You will again have compassion on us.

You will overcome our wrongdoing.

You will throw all our sins into the deep sea. (GW)

7:19a

He will again have compassion on us;

He will again have compassion on us: In this general statement Micah expresses his confidence that the LORD will again have compassion on the people of Israel.

again: In Hebrew, this word means “turn” or “return.”Mounce (page 1052). In this context it means to return to a previous condition, when he formerly showed compassion to Israel.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

once again (NET)

Once more (REB)

compassion: In Hebrew, this word means “have compassion,” “show mercy,” or “take pity.”Mounce (page 1040). The word is used to describe the love and care that a mother gives to her children.NAC, CBC, and UBS all make note of this connotation.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

have mercy (NET)

have pity (NJB)

love (NJPS)

7:19b

He will vanquish our iniquities.

He will vanquish our iniquities: This line is a metaphor that compares the LORD’s forgiveness of the people’s sin to a warrior who conquers an enemy.Waltke 2007 (page 447) suggests that this metaphor, along with the metaphor in 19c, may refer back to the defeat of Pharoah at the Red Sea. If so, these metaphors compare the LORD’s forgiveness of sin to that event.

Here are some ways to translate this metaphor:

our iniquities: See the note on “pardons iniquity and passes over the transgression” under 7:18b–c.

7:19c

You will cast out all our sins into the depths of the sea.

You will cast out all our sins into the depths of the sea: This line is a metaphor that compares the LORD’s forgiveness of the people’s sin to the total removal of something by throwing it into a deep part of the sea.Waltke 2007, NAC, NICOT, TOTC, and ABC all mention the possibility that that this metaphor may refer back to the defeat of Pharoah at the Red Sea. It means that the LORD will forgive completely.NAC, CBC, NICOT, and UBS.

Here are some ways to translate this metaphor:

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יִכְבֹּ֖שׁ עֲוֺֽנֹתֵ֑י⁠נוּ

tread_~_underfoot iniquities_of,our

Here Micah is speaking as if the sins of his people were enemies that Yahweh will subdue. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [He will overcome the power of our iniquities]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

עֲוֺֽנֹתֵ֑י⁠נוּ וְ⁠תַשְׁלִ֛יךְ בִּ⁠מְצֻל֥וֹת יָ֖ם כָּל חַטֹּאותָֽ⁠ם

iniquities_of,our (Some words not found in UHB: again he,will_have_compassion_on_us tread_~_underfoot iniquities_of,our and,you_will_cast in_[the],depths_of sea all/each/any/every sins_of,their )

The pronouns our and their both refer to Micah and his people. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [our people’s iniquities … our people’s sins]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

עֲוֺֽנֹתֵ֑י⁠נוּ

iniquities_of,our

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of iniquities, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the wicked things we have done]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠תַשְׁלִ֛יךְ בִּ⁠מְצֻל֥וֹת יָ֖ם כָּל חַטֹּאותָֽ⁠ם

and,you_will_cast in_[the],depths_of sea all/each/any/every sins_of,their

Here Micah is speaking as if the sins of his people were objects that Yahweh could throw into the depths of the sea, where no one could ever recover them. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and you will completely remove all of their sins forever]

Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns

וְ⁠תַשְׁלִ֛יךְ

and,you_will_cast

The pronoun you refers to Yahweh, whom Micah addresses directly here after speaking about him in the previous sentence. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [and you, Yahweh, will throw … all of their sins]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

חַטֹּאותָֽ⁠ם

sins_of,their

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of sins, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the wrong things they have done]
