18 Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity
and passing over transgression
for the remnant of his inheritance?
He does not retain his anger forever,
because he delights in steadfast love.
19 He will again have compassion on us;
he will tread our iniquities underfoot.
You will cast all our sins
into the depths of the sea.
He does not retain his anger forever,
because he delights in steadfast love.
19 He will again have compassion on us;
he will tread our iniquities underfoot.
You will cast all our sins
into the depths of the sea.
Though judgment on their nation was inevitable and imminent, Micah held out a wonderful hope. In this last chapter he calls on his people to wait upon his God and to watch for his Shepherd to come and take care of His People, doing wonderful things just like He had at the Exodus. In this last paragraph he returns to the meaning of his name: "There is no One like our God." Micah stands in wonder of God's forgiveness, faithfulness, and enduring love. So should we.
