Micah 7:7-20

7But as for me, I will 1be on the watchH6822 for the LordH3068; I will 2waitH3176 for the GodH430 of my salvationH3468. My 3GodH430 will hearH8085 me.84Do not rejoiceH8055 over me, 5enemyH340 of mine. ThoughH3588 I fallH5307 I will 6riseH6965; ThoughH3588 I liveH3427 in darknessH2822, the LordH3068 is a 7lightH216 for me.

9I will endureH5375 the rageH2197 of the LordH3068 BecauseH3588 I have sinnedH2398 against Him, UntilH5704H834 He 8pleadsH7378 my caseH7379 and executesH6213 justiceH4941 for me. He will bringH3318 me outH3318 to the 9lightH216, And I will lookH7200 at 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 at her; 13At that timeH6258 she will 14be 15trampledH4823 downH4823 Like mudH2916 of the streetsH2351.11It will be a dayH3117 for 16buildingH1129 your wallsH1447. On that dayH3117 your boundaryH2706 will 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 Euphrates RiverH5104, Even from seaH3220 to seaH3220 and mountainH2022 to mountainH2022.13And the earthH776 will becomeH1961 a 19wastelandH8077 becauseH5921 of her inhabitantsH3427, OnH4480 accountH4480 ofH4480 the 20fruitH6529 of their deedsH4611.

1421ShepherdH7462 Your peopleH5971 with Your 22scepterH7626, The flockH6629 of Your 23possessionH5159 Which livesH7931 by itselfH910 in the woodlandH3293, In the midstH8432 of 24a fruitfulH3759 fieldH3759. Let them feedH7462 in 25BashanH1316 and GileadH1568 26As in the daysH3117 of oldH5769.15“As in the daysH3117 when you wentH3318 outH3318 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714, I will showH7200 2728you miraclesH6381.”16NationsH1471 29will seeH7200 and beH954 ashamedH954 Of allH3605 their mightH1369. They will 30putH7760 their handH3027 on their mouthH6310, Their earsH241 will beH2790 deafH2790.17They will 31lickH3897 upH3897 dustH6083 like a snakeH5175, Like 3233reptilesH2119 of the earthH776. They will comeH7264 34tremblingH7264 out of their 35fortressesH4526; To the LordH3068 our GodH430 they will comeH6342 inH6342 36trepidationH6342, And they will beH3372 afraidH3372 of You.18WhoH4310 is a GodH410 likeH3644 You, who 37pardonsH5375 wrongdoingH5771 And passesH5674 overH5921 a rebelliousH6588 actH6588 of the 38remnantH7611 of His 39possessionH5159? He does not 40retainH2388 His angerH639 foreverH5703, BecauseH3588 He 41delightsH2654 in mercyH2617.19He will againH7725 takeH7355 pityH7355 onH7355 us; 42He will trampleH3533 on our wrongdoingsH5771. Yes, You will 43castH7993 allH3605 44their sinsH2403 Into the depthsH4688 of the seaH3220.20You will giveH5414 4546truthH571 to JacobH3290 And favorH2617 to AbrahamH85, WhichH834 You 47sworeH7650 to our forefathersH1 From the daysH3117 of oldH6924.
