Micah 7:5-10
English Standard Version
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]
6 for (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.
7 But 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.
10 Then (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.

New International Version
Micah 7:5-10
New International Version
5 Do not trust a neighbor;
put no confidence in a friend.(A)
Even with the woman who lies in your embrace
guard the words of your lips.
6 For a son dishonors his father,
a daughter rises up against her mother,(B)
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
a man’s enemies are the members of his own household.(C)
7 But as for me, I watch(D) in hope(E) for the Lord,
I wait for God my Savior;
my God will hear(F) me.
Israel Will Rise
8 Do not gloat over me,(G) my enemy!
Though I have fallen, I will rise.(H)
Though I sit in darkness,
the Lord will be my light.(I)
9 Because I have sinned against him,
I will bear the Lord’s wrath,(J)
until he pleads my case(K)
and upholds my cause.
He will bring me out into the light;(L)
I will see his righteousness.(M)
10 Then my enemy will see it
and will be covered with shame,(N)
she who said to me,
“Where is the Lord your God?”(O)
My eyes will see her downfall;(P)
even now she will be trampled(Q) underfoot
like mire in the streets.
