Matters of Interpretation

Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity
   and passing over the transgression
   of the remnant of his possession?
He does not retain his anger forever
  because he delights in showing steadfast love.
He will again have compassion upon us;
  he will tread our iniquities under foot.
You will cast all our sins
  into the depths of the sea.
You will show faithfulness to Jacob
   and steadfast love to Abraham,
as you have sworn to our ancestors
   from the days of old.

Micah 7:18-20
