Micah 7:18 in Context — Micah 7

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.

20 Tu témoigneras de la fidélité à Jacob, De la bonté à Abraham, Comme tu l’as juré à nos pères aux jours d’autrefois.
