Micah 7:11-20

11It will be a dayH3117 for 1buildingH1129 your wallsH1447. On that dayH3117 your boundaryH2706 will 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 Euphrates RiverH5104, Even from seaH3220 to seaH3220 and mountainH2022 to mountainH2022.13And the earthH776 will becomeH1961 a 4wastelandH8077 becauseH5921 of her inhabitantsH3427, OnH4480 accountH4480 ofH4480 the 5fruitH6529 of their deedsH4611.

146ShepherdH7462 Your peopleH5971 with Your 7scepterH7626, The flockH6629 of Your 8possessionH5159 Which livesH7931 by itselfH910 in the woodlandH3293, In the midstH8432 of 9a fruitfulH3759 fieldH3759. Let them feedH7462 in 10BashanH1316 and GileadH1568 11As in the daysH3117 of oldH5769.15“As in the daysH3117 when you wentH3318 outH3318 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714, I will showH7200 1213you miraclesH6381.”16NationsH1471 14will seeH7200 and beH954 ashamedH954 Of allH3605 their mightH1369. They will 15putH7760 their handH3027 on their mouthH6310, Their earsH241 will beH2790 deafH2790.17They will 16lickH3897 upH3897 dustH6083 like a snakeH5175, Like 1718reptilesH2119 of the earthH776. They will comeH7264 19tremblingH7264 out of their 20fortressesH4526; To the LordH3068 our GodH430 they will comeH6342 inH6342 21trepidationH6342, And they will beH3372 afraidH3372 of You.18WhoH4310 is a GodH410 likeH3644 You, who 22pardonsH5375 wrongdoingH5771 And passesH5674 overH5921 a rebelliousH6588 actH6588 of the 23remnantH7611 of His 24possessionH5159? He does not 25retainH2388 His angerH639 foreverH5703, BecauseH3588 He 26delightsH2654 in mercyH2617.19He will againH7725 takeH7355 pityH7355 onH7355 us; 27He will trampleH3533 on our wrongdoingsH5771. Yes, You will 28castH7993 allH3605 29their sinsH2403 Into the depthsH4688 of the seaH3220.20You will giveH5414 3031truthH571 to JacobH3290 And favorH2617 to AbrahamH85, WhichH834 You 32sworeH7650 to our forefathersH1 From the daysH3117 of oldH6924.
