Micah 7:17 in Context — Micah 7
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.
19 Ele voltará a ter misericórdia de nós; ele esmagará nossas maldades. Tu lançarás os pecados deles nas profundezas do mar.
