Micah 7:18-20

18 Lord, there is no God like you.

You forgive the sins of your people who remain,

the people who belong to you.

You do not continue to be angry for ever.

Instead, you love us with a faithful love.

19 You will be kind and forgive us once again.

You will remove the evil things that we have done.

You will throw our sins into the deep sea!

20 You will be faithful and you will continue to love us,

as you promised our ancestors long ago.

We are descendants of Jacob and Abraham,

and you will be faithful to your promise to them.

7:20Abraham was Jacob's grandfather. Jacob was the ancestor of Israel's people. God made promises to Abraham. See Genesis 15:1-21; 17:1-8.
