Micah 7:19

Yahweh would again have compassion (tender, heartfelt concern, Heb. rehem) on the Israelites, as He had done so often in their history (cf. Psalms 102:13; Psalms 103:4; Psalms 103:13; Psalms 116:5; Psalms 119:156; Hosea 14:4; Zechariah 10:6). He would subdue their iniquities as though they were insects that He stepped on and obliterated. He would do away with their sins as surely as someone gets rid of something permanently by throwing it into the sea (cf. Psalms 103:12). The use of three words for sin in Micah 7:18-19 (iniquity, rebellious acts, and sins) gives added assurance of forgiveness. God will forgive all types of Israel’s sins.
