Micah 7:16 in Context — Micah 7

14 Pais ton peuple avec ta houlette, le troupeau de ton héritage, Qui habite solitaire dans la forêt au milieu du Carmel! Qu’ils paissent sur le Basan et en Galaad, Comme au jour d’autrefois.

15 Comme au jour où tu sortis du pays d’Égypte, Je te ferai voir des prodiges.

16 Les nations le verront, et seront confuses, Avec toute leur puissance; Elles mettront la main sur la bouche, Leurs oreilles seront assourdies.

17 Elles lécheront la poussière, comme le serpent, Comme les reptiles de la terre; Elles seront saisies de frayeur hors de leurs forteresses; Elles trembleront devant l’Éternel, notre Dieu, Elles te craindront.

18 Quel Dieu est semblable à toi, Qui pardonnes l’iniquité, qui oublies les péchés Du reste de ton héritage? Il ne garde pas sa colère à toujours, Car il prend plaisir à la miséricorde.
