Micah 7:11-20

11It will be a dayH3117 for 1buildingH1129 your wallsH1447. On that dayH3117 will your boundaryH2706 be extendedH7368.12It will be a dayH3117 when 2they will 3comeH935 to you From AssyriaH804 and the citiesH5892 of EgyptH4693, From EgyptH4693 even to the 4EuphratesH5104, Even from seaH3220 to seaH3220 and mountainH2022 to mountainH2022.13And the earthH776 will becomeH1961 5desolateH8077 becauseH5921 of her inhabitantsH3427, On accountH4480 of the 6fruitH6529 of their deedsH4611.

147ShepherdH7462 Your peopleH5971 with Your 8scepterH7626, The flockH6629 of Your 9possessionH5159 Which dwellsH7931 by itselfH910 in the woodlandH3293, In the midstH8432 of 10a fruitfulH3759 fieldH3759. Let them feedH7462 in 11BashanH1316 and GileadH1568 12As in the daysH3117 of oldH5769.15“As in the daysH3117 when you cameH3318 out from the landH776 of EgyptH4714, I will showH7200 1314you miraclesH6381.”16NationsH1471 15will seeH7200 and be ashamedH954 Of allH3605 their mightH1369. They will 16putH7760 their handH3027 on their mouthH6310, Their earsH241 will be deafH2790.17They will 17lickH3897 the dustH6083 like a serpentH5175, Like 18reptilesH2119 of the earthH776. They will comeH7264 19tremblingH7264 out of their 20fortressesH4526; To the LordH3068 our GodH430 they will comeH6342 in 21dreadH6342 And they will be afraidH3372 beforeH4480 You.18WhoH4310 is a GodH410 likeH3644 You, who 22pardonsH5375 iniquityH5771 And passesH5674 overH5921 the rebelliousH6588 actH6588 of the 23remnantH7611 of His 24possessionH5159? He does not 25retainH2388 His angerH639 foreverH5703, BecauseH3588 He 26delightsH2654 in 27unchangingH2617 loveH2617.19He will againH7725 haveH7355 compassionH7355 on us; 28He will treadH3533 our iniquitiesH5771 underH3533 footH3533. Yes, You will 29castH7993 allH3605 30their sinsH2403 Into the depthsH4688 of the seaH3220.20You will giveH5414 3132truthH571 to JacobH3290 And 33unchangingH2617 loveH2617 to AbrahamH85, WhichH834 You 34sworeH7650 to our forefathersH1 From the daysH3117 of oldH6924.
