Micah 7:17

They shall lick the dust like a serpent,
like creeping things on the ground
they shall come trembling from their hiding places,
they shall come with fear before the Lord (Yahweh) our God (Elohim)
and shall be afraid because of you.
[Verses 16 and 17 are framed by the similar phrases "they shall see" (Hebr. jireo) and "they shall be afraid" (Hebr. ve´jireo).]
