Micah 7:16 in Context — Micah 7

14 Apascenta teu povo com teu cajado, o rebanho de tua herança, que mora só no bosque, no meio do campo fértil; que se alimentem em Basã e Gileade, como nos dias antigos.

15 Eu lhes farei ver maravilhas, como nos dias em que saíste da terra do Egito.

16 As nações verão, e se envergonharão de todo o seu poder; porão a mão sobre a boca, ensurdecerão seus ouvidos.

17 Lamberão o pó como a serpente; como os répteis da terra sairão tremendo de seus esconderijos; eles ficarão apavorados com o SENHOR nosso Deus, e temerão a ti.

18 Quem é Deus como tu, que perdoa a maldade, e ignora a transgressão do restante de sua herança? Ele não retém para sempre sua ira, porque ele tem prazer na bondade.
