Micah 7:18

Mee El kamocha (Who is a G-d like unto Thee), removing avon, 1 and passing over peysha of the She'erit of His Nachalah? Hashem retaineth not His anger forever, 1 because He delighteth in chesed. 1

Orthodox Jewish Bible

In The King James Version

In Context

19He will turn again; He will have compassion upon us; 1 He will subdue avonoteinu (our iniquities); 1 and tashlich (thou wilt cast, throw) 1 all their sins into the depths of the yam. 1
