Micah 7:8-13

8 1Do not rejoice over me, O 2my enemy. Though I fall I will 3rise; Though I dwell in darkness, the Lord is a 4light for me.

9I will bear the indignation of the Lord Because I have sinned against Him, Until He 5pleads my case and executes justice for me. He will bring me out to the 6light, And I will see His 7 8righteousness.10Then my enemy will see, And shame will cover her who 9said to me, “Where is the Lord your God?” My eyes will look on her; 10At that time she will 11be 12trampled down Like mire of the streets.11It will be a day for 13building your walls. On that day will your boundary be extended.12It will be a day when 14they will 15come to you From Assyria and the cities of Egypt, From Egypt even to the 16Euphrates, Even from sea to sea and mountain to mountain.13And the earth will become 17desolate because of her inhabitants, On account of the 18fruit of their deeds.
