Strongs On/Off
Context
7:11 It will be a day for rebuilding your walls ; in that day your boundary will be extended .
A Closing Prayer
7:12 In that day people will come to you from Assyria as far as Egypt , from Egypt as far as the Euphrates River , from the seacoasts and the mountains .
7:13 The earth will become desolate because of what its inhabitants have done .
7:14 Shepherd your people with your shepherd’s rod , the flock that belongs to you, the one that lives alone in a thicket , in the midst of a pastureland . Allow them to graze in Bashan and Gilead , as they did in the old days .
7:15 “As in the days when you departed from the land of Egypt , I will show you miraculous deeds .”
7:16 Nations will see this and be disappointed by all their strength , they will put their hands over their mouths , and act as if they were deaf . deaf .
7:17 They will lick the dust like a snake , like serpents crawling on the ground . They will come trembling from their strongholds to the Lord our God ; they will be terrified of you.
7:18 There is no other God like you! You forgive sin and pardon the rebellion of those who remain among your people . You do not remain angry forever , but delight in showing loyal love .
7:19 You will once again have mercy on us; you will conquer our evil deeds ; you will hurl our sins into the depths of the sea .
7:20 You will be loyal to Jacob and extend your loyal love to Abraham , which you promised on oath to our ancestors in ancient times .
