Micah 7:18

Who is a GOD like unto thee, taking away the iniquity—and passing over the transgression—of the remnant of his inheritance? He hath not held fast, perpetually, his anger, for, one who delighteth in lovingkindness, is he!

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.

In Context

19He will again have compassion upon us, he will subdue our iniquities,—Thou wilt cast—into the depths of the sea—all their sins.
