Micah 7:14-17
The God who once delivered His people will again shepherd them with power, displaying His supremacy before the nations.
14 Shepherd your people with your staff, the flock of your heritage, who dwell by themselves in a forest, in the middle of fertile pasture land, let them feed; in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
15 “As in the days of your coming out of the land of Egypt, I will show them marvelous things.”
16 The nations will see and be ashamed of all their might. They will lay their hand on their mouth. Their ears will be deaf.
17 They will lick the dust like a serpent. Like crawling things of the earth they shall come trembling out of their dens. They will come with fear to Yahweh our God, and will be afraid because of you.
The God who once delivered His people will again shepherd them with power, displaying His supremacy before the nations.
To petition the LORD to shepherd His people as in former days and to promise that He will perform wondrous acts that humble the nations.
