Micah 7

1WoeH480 is meH5315! for I am as when they have gatheredH3588 the summerH7019 fruits, as the grapeH1210 gleaningsH5955 of the vintageH1210: there is noH369 clusterH811 to eatH398; my soulH5315 desireth the firstripe figH1063. 2The godlyH2623 manH376 is perishedH6 outH4480 of the earthH776, and there is noneH369 uprightH3477 among menH376: they allH3605 lieH693 in waitH693 for bloodH1818; they huntH6679 everyH3605 manH376 his brotherH251 with a net. 3Their handsH3709 are uponH5921 that whichH1931 is evilH7451 to doH3190 it diligently; the princeH8269 asketh, and the judgeH8199 is ready for a reward; and the greatH1419 manH5315, he uttereth the mischief of his soulH5315: thus they weaveH5686 it togetherH5921. 4The bestH2896 of them is as a brier: the most uprightH3477 is worse thanH2896 a thornH4534 hedgeH4534: the dayH3117 of thy watchmenH6822, even thy visitation, is comeH935; nowH6258 shall be their perplexity. 5TrustH982 ye notH408 in a friendH7453, putH982 ye notH408 confidenceH982 in a guide: keepH8104 the doorsH6607 of thy mouthH6310 from herH8104 that lieth in thy bosomH2436. 6For the sonH1121 dishonoureth the fatherH1, the daughterH1323 riseth upH6965 againstH376 herH3588 motherH517, the daughterH1323 in law againstH376 herH3588 motherH517 in law; a man’sH376 enemiesH341 are the menH376 of his ownH376 houseH1004. 7But as for meH589, I will look unto the LORDH3068; I will waitH3176 for the GodH430 of my salvationH3468: my GodH430 will hearH8085 meH589. 8RejoiceH8055 notH408 againstH3427 meH8055, O mine enemyH341: when I fallH5307, I shall ariseH6965; when I sitH3427 in darknessH2822, the LORDH3068 shall be a lightH216 unto meH8055. 9I will bearH5375 the indignationH2197 of the LORDH3068, becauseH3588 I have sinnedH2398 againstH2398 him; untilH5704 he pleadH7378 my causeH7379, and execute judgmentH4941 for meH7200: he will bringH3318 meH7200 forthH3318 to the lightH216, and I shall beholdH7200 his righteousnessH6666. 10Then mine enemyH341 shall seeH7200 it, and shameH955 shall coverH3680 herH413; whichH5869 saidH559 unto meH413, WhereH346 is the LORDH3068 thy GodH430? Mine eyesH5869 shall beholdH7200 herH413; nowH6258 shall she be trodden downH4823 as the mireH2916 of the streetsH2351. 11A dayH3117 for buildingH1129 thy wallsH1447! in that dayH3117 shall the decreeH2706 be farH7368 removedH7368. 12In that dayH3117 shall they comeH935 unto thee, from AssyriaH804 and the citiesH5892 of EgyptH4693, and from EgyptH4693 evenH5704 to the RiverH5104, and from seaH3220 to seaH3220, and from mountainH2022 to mountainH2022. 13Yet shall the landH776 be desolateH8077 becauseH5921 of them that dwellH3427 therein, for the fruitH6529 of their doingsH4611. 14FeedH7462 thy peopleH5971 with thy rodH7626, the flockH6629 of thine heritageH5159, whichH7626 dwellH7931 solitarily, in the forestH3293 in the midstH8432 of CarmelH3760: let them feedH7462 in BashanH1316 and GileadH1568, as in the daysH3117 of oldH5769. 15As in the daysH3117 of thy comingH3318 forthH3318 outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 will I shew unto him marvelousH6381 things. 16The nationsH1471 shall seeH7200 and be ashamedH954 of allH3605 their might: they shall layH7760 their handH3027 uponH5921 their mouthH6310, their earsH241 shall be deaf. 17They shall lickH3897 the dustH6083 like a serpentH5175; like crawlingH7264 things of the earthH776 they shall comeH6342 tremblingH7264 outH4480 of their close places: they shall comeH6342 with fearH3372 unto the LORDH3068 our GodH430, and shall be afraidH3372 becauseH4480 of thee. 18Who is a GodH410 like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquityH5771, and passeth by the transgressionH6588 of the remnantH7611 of his heritageH5159? he retaineth notH3808 his angerH639 for everH5703, becauseH3588 he delighteth in mercy. 19He will turnH7725 againH7725 and have compassionH7355 upon usH7725; he will treadH3533 our iniquitiesH5771 underH3533 footH3533: and thou wilt castH7993 allH3605 their sinsH2403 intoH7993 the depthsH4688 of the seaH3220. 20Thou wilt perform the truthH571 to JacobH3290, and the mercy to AbrahamH85, whichH834 thou hast swornH7650 unto our fathersH1 from the daysH3117 of old.
