Micah 7:7-13

7Therefore I will lookH6822 unto YhwhH3068; I will waitH3176 for the GodH430 of my salvationH3468: my GodH430 will hearH8085 me.

8RejoiceH8055 not against me, O mine enemyH341: when I fallH5307, I shall ariseH6965; when I sitH3427 in darknessH2822, YhwhH3068 shall be a lightH216 unto me. 9I will bearH5375 the indignationH2197 of YhwhH3068, because I have sinnedH2398 against him, until he pleadH7378 my causeH7379, and executeH6213 judgmentH4941 for me: he will bring me forthH3318 to the lightH216, and I shall beholdH7200 his righteousnessH6666. 10Then she that is mine enemyH341 shall seeH7200 it, and shameH955 shall coverH3680 her which saidH559 unto me, Where is YhwhH3068 thy GodH430? mine eyesH5869 shall beholdH7200 her: now shall she be trodden downH4823 as the mireH2916 of the streetsH2351.1 2 11In the dayH3117 that thy wallsH1447 are to be builtH1129, in that dayH3117 shall the decreeH2706 be far removedH7368. 12In that dayH3117 also he shall comeH935 even to thee from AssyriaH804, and from the fortifiedH4693 citiesH5892, and from the fortressH4693 even to the riverH5104, and from seaH3220 to seaH3220, and from mountainH2022 to mountainH2022.3 13Notwithstanding the landH776 shall be desolateH8077 because of them that dwellH3427 therein, for the fruitH6529 of their doingsH4611.4
