Micah 7:8-13
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Penitence and Trust in God
8 Do not rejoice over me, my enemies;[a]
when I fall, I shall rise;
when I sit in darkness,
the Lord will be a light to me.(A)
9 I must bear the indignation of the Lord
because I have sinned against him,
until he takes my side
and executes judgment for me.
He will bring me out to the light;
I shall see his vindication.(B)
10 Then my enemies[b] will see,
and shame will cover those[c] who said to me,
“Where is the Lord your God?”
My eyes will see their[d] downfall;[e]
now they[f] will be trodden down
like the mire of the streets.(C)
A Prophecy of Restoration
11 A day for the building of your walls!
On that day the boundary shall be far extended.(D)
12 On that day they will come to you
from Assyria to[g] Egypt
and from Egypt to the River,
from sea to sea and from mountain to mountain.(E)
13 But the earth will be desolate
because of its inhabitants,
for the fruit of their doings.(F)

Penitence and Trust in God
8 Rejoice not over me, O my enemy;
when I fall, I shall rise;
when I sit in darkness,
the Lord will be a light to me.
9 I will bear the indignation of the Lord
because I have sinned against him,
until he pleads my cause
and executes judgment for me.
He will bring me forth to the light;
I shall behold his deliverance.
10 Then my enemy will see,
and shame will cover her who said to me,
“Where is the Lord your God?”
My eyes will gloat over her;
now she will be trodden down
like the mire of the streets.
A Prophecy of Restoration
11 A day for the building of your walls!
In that day the boundary shall be far extended.
12 In that day they will come to you,
from Assyria to[a] Egypt,
and from Egypt to the River,
from sea to sea and from mountain to mountain.
13 But the earth will be desolate
because of its inhabitants,
for the fruit of their doings.
