God’s mercy towards Yisrael

Mic 7:14–20

7:14 God’s mercy towards Yisrael

14 Shepherd your people with your staff—

the flock of your inheritance.

They live alone in a forest,

surrounded by pastureland.

Let them graze in Bashan and Gilead as in the old days.

15 Just like in the days when you were rescued out of Mitsrayim (Egypt),

I’ll display miracles to them.

16 The nations will see and be ashamed of all their power.

They’ll put their hands over their mouths—

and act like their ears are deaf.

17 They’ll lick the dust like a snake—

≈ like creatures that crawl on the earth.

They’ll be trembling as they come out of their fortresses.

≈ They’ll come with fear to you, our god Yahweh,

≈ and they’ll be afraid because of you.


18 What other God is there like you, who takes away sin?

Who forgives the disobedience of the remnant of his inherited people?

He doesn’t stay angry forever,

because he happily demonstrates his loyal commitment.

19 You’ll have compassion on us yet again.

You’ll wipe away our disobedience.

≈ You will throw all our sins into the deepest parts of the sea.

20 You’ll give truth to Ya’akov (Jacob)

≈ and loyal commitment to Avraham,

as you promised to our ancestors long ago.
