9
Because I have sinned against him, I will bear the LORDâs wrath, until he pleads my case and upholds my cause. He will bring me out into the light; I will see his righteousness.
10
Then my enemy will see it and will be covered with shame, she who said to me, âWhere is the LORD your God?â My eyes will see her downfall; even now she will be trampled underfoot like mire in the streets.
12
In that day people will come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, even from Egypt to the Euphrates and from sea to sea and from mountain to mountain.
14
Shepherd your people with your staff, the flock of your inheritance, which lives by itself in a forest, in fertile pasturelands.Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead as in days long ago.
17
They will lick dust like a snake, like creatures that crawl on the ground. They will come trembling out of their dens; they will turn in fear to the LORD our God and will be afraid of you.
18
Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy.
