God's Steadfast Love and Compassion

Micah 7

¹⁸ _m Who is a God like you, _n pardoning iniquity
and passing over transgression
_n for the remnant of his inheritance?
_o He does not retain his anger forever,
because he delights in steadfast love.
¹⁹ He will _p again have compassion on us;
_q he will tread our iniquities underfoot.
_r You will cast all our ₁ sins
into the depths of the sea.
²⁰ _s You will show faithfulness to Jacob
and steadfast love to Abraham,
_t as you have sworn to our fathers
from the days of old.
