from Egypt as far as the Euphrates River, 7
from the seacoasts 8 and the mountains. 9
Mikha 7:18
Konteks7:18 There is no other God like you! 10
You 11 forgive sin
and pardon 12 the rebellion
of those who remain among your people. 13
You do not remain angry forever, 14
but delight in showing loyal love.
