Micah 7:2-20

2The 1godlyH2623 personH2623 has 2perishedH6 from the landH776, And thereH369 isH369 noH369 uprightH3477 person among mankindH120. AllH3605 of them lieH693 inH693 waitH693 for 3bloodshedH1818; EachH376 of them huntsH6679 the otherH251 with a 4netH2764.3As for evilH7451, both handsH3709 doH3190 it 5wellH3190. The leaderH8269 asksH7592 for a 6bribeH7966, also the judgeH8199, And the greatH1419 oneH1419 speaksH1696 the capriciousH1942 desireH1942 of his soulH5315; So they plotH5686 it togetherH5686.4The bestH2896 of them is like a 7thornH2312 bushH2312, The most uprightH3477 like a 8thornH4534 hedgeH4534. The dayH3117 9when you post your watchmenH6822, Your 10punishmentH6486 is comingH935. ThenH6258 their 11confusionH3998 will occurH1961.5Do not 12trustH982 in a neighborH7453; Do not haveH982 confidenceH982 in a closeH7453 friendH7453. GuardH8104 13your lipsH6310 From her who liesH7901 14in your armsH2436.6For 15sonH1121 disavowsH5034 fatherH1, DaughterH1323 risesH6965 upH6965 against her motherH517, Daughter-in-lawH3618 against her mother-in-lawH2545; 16A person’sH376 enemiesH340 are the peopleH376 of his own householdH1004.

7But as for me, I will 17be on the watchH6822 for the LordH3068; I will 18waitH3176 for the GodH430 of my salvationH3468. My 19GodH430 will hearH8085 me.820Do not rejoiceH8055 over me, 21enemyH340 of mine. ThoughH3588 I fallH5307 I will 22riseH6965; ThoughH3588 I liveH3427 in darknessH2822, the LordH3068 is a 23lightH216 for me.

9I will endureH5375 the rageH2197 of the LordH3068 BecauseH3588 I have sinnedH2398 against Him, UntilH5704H834 He 24pleadsH7378 my caseH7379 and executesH6213 justiceH4941 for me. He will bringH3318 me outH3318 to the 25lightH216, And I will lookH7200 at His 2627righteousnessH6666.10Then my enemyH340 will seeH7200, And shameH955 will coverH3680 her who 28saidH559 to me, “WhereH335 is the LordH3068 your GodH430?” My eyesH5869 will lookH7200 at her; 29At that timeH6258 she will 30be 31trampledH4823 downH4823 Like mudH2916 of the streetsH2351.11It will be a dayH3117 for 32buildingH1129 your wallsH1447. On that dayH3117 your boundaryH2706 will be extendedH7368.12It will be a dayH3117 when 33they will 34comeH935 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 35wastelandH8077 becauseH5921 of her inhabitantsH3427, OnH4480 accountH4480 ofH4480 the 36fruitH6529 of their deedsH4611.

1437ShepherdH7462 Your peopleH5971 with Your 38scepterH7626, The flockH6629 of Your 39possessionH5159 Which livesH7931 by itselfH910 in the woodlandH3293, In the midstH8432 of 40a fruitfulH3759 fieldH3759. Let them feedH7462 in 41BashanH1316 and GileadH1568 42As in the daysH3117 of oldH5769.15“As in the daysH3117 when you wentH3318 outH3318 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714, I will showH7200 4344you miraclesH6381.”16NationsH1471 45will seeH7200 and beH954 ashamedH954 Of allH3605 their mightH1369. They will 46putH7760 their handH3027 on their mouthH6310, Their earsH241 will beH2790 deafH2790.17They will 47lickH3897 upH3897 dustH6083 like a snakeH5175, Like 4849reptilesH2119 of the earthH776. They will comeH7264 50tremblingH7264 out of their 51fortressesH4526; To the LordH3068 our GodH430 they will comeH6342 inH6342 52trepidationH6342, And they will beH3372 afraidH3372 of You.18WhoH4310 is a GodH410 likeH3644 You, who 53pardonsH5375 wrongdoingH5771 And passesH5674 overH5921 a rebelliousH6588 actH6588 of the 54remnantH7611 of His 55possessionH5159? He does not 56retainH2388 His angerH639 foreverH5703, BecauseH3588 He 57delightsH2654 in mercyH2617.19He will againH7725 takeH7355 pityH7355 onH7355 us; 58He will trampleH3533 on our wrongdoingsH5771. Yes, You will 59castH7993 allH3605 60their sinsH2403 Into the depthsH4688 of the seaH3220.20You will giveH5414 6162truthH571 to JacobH3290 And favorH2617 to AbrahamH85, WhichH834 You 63sworeH7650 to our forefathersH1 From the daysH3117 of oldH6924.
