Micah 7:17 in Context — Micah 7
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.
19 Il aura encore compassion de nous, Il mettra sous ses pieds nos iniquités; Tu jetteras au fond de la mer tous leurs péchés.
