Overview & Insights

"Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity and passing over transgression?" (Micah 7:18)

The closing lines of Micah praise the LORD as a God unlike any other, one who does not stay angry forever but delights in steadfast love. The prophet trusts that God will again have compassion, tread sins underfoot, and cast them into the depths of the sea.
