You will give truth to Jacob,
and mercy to Abraham,
as you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Micah 7:20 in context
Micah 7:17–20
17
They will lick the dust like a serpent.
Like crawling things of the earth, they will come trembling out of their dens.
They will come with fear to the LORD our God,
and will be afraid because of you.
18
Who is a God like you, who pardons iniquity,
and passes over the disobedience of the remnant of his heritage?
He doesn’t retain his anger forever,
because he delights in loving kindness.
19
He will again have compassion on us.
He will tread our iniquities under foot.
You will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
20
Selected verse
You will give truth to Jacob,
and mercy to Abraham,
as you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
