Micah 7:5-10

English Standard Version

⁵^(A)Put no trust in a neighbor;
    have no confidence in a friend;
guard ^(B)the doors of your mouth
    from her who lies in your arms;^[a]
⁶for ^(C)the son treats the father with contempt,
    the daughter rises up against her mother,
the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
    ^(D)a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
⁷But as for me, I will look to the Lord;
    ^(E)I will wait for the God of my salvation;
    my God will hear me.

⁸^(F)Rejoice not over me, O ^(G)my enemy;
    ^(H)when I fall, I shall rise;
^(I)when I sit in darkness,
    the Lord will be a light to me.
⁹^(J)I will bear the indignation of the Lord
    because I have sinned against him,
until ^(K)he pleads my cause
    and executes judgment for me.
^(L)He will bring me out to the light;
    I shall look upon his vindication.
¹⁰Then ^(M)my enemy will see,
    and shame will cover her who ^(N)said to me,
    “Where is the Lord your God?”
^(O)My eyes will look upon her;
    now she will be trampled down
    ^(P)like the mire of the streets.
