Micah 7:7-13

7But as for me, I will 1watchH6822 expectantlyH6822 for the LordH3068; I will 2waitH3176 for the GodH430 of my salvationH3468. My 3GodH430 will hearH8085 me.84Do not rejoiceH8055 over me, O 5my enemyH340. ThoughH3588 I fallH5307 I will 6riseH6965; ThoughH3588 I dwellH3427 in darknessH2822, the LordH3068 is a 7lightH216 for me.

9I will bearH5375 the indignationH2197 of the LordH3068 BecauseH3588 I have sinnedH2398 against Him, UntilH5704H834 He 8pleadsH7378 my caseH7379 and executesH6213 justiceH4941 for me. He will bringH3318 me out to the 9lightH216, And I will seeH7200 His 1011righteousnessH6666.10Then my enemyH340 will seeH7200, And shameH955 will coverH3680 her who 12saidH559 to me, “WhereH335 is the LordH3068 your GodH430?” My eyesH5869 will lookH7200 on her; 13At that timeH6258 she will 14be 15trampledH4823 downH4823 Like mireH2916 of the streetsH2351.11It will be a dayH3117 for 16buildingH1129 your wallsH1447. On that dayH3117 will your boundaryH2706 be extendedH7368.12It will be a dayH3117 when 17they will 18comeH935 to you From AssyriaH804 and the citiesH5892 of EgyptH4693, From EgyptH4693 even to the 19EuphratesH5104, Even from seaH3220 to seaH3220 and mountainH2022 to mountainH2022.13And the earthH776 will becomeH1961 20desolateH8077 becauseH5921 of her inhabitantsH3427, On accountH4480 of the 21fruitH6529 of their deedsH4611.
