Micah 7:11-17

New International Version

¹¹The day for building your walls^(A) will come,
    the day for extending your boundaries.
¹²In that day people will come to you
    from Assyria^(B) and the cities of Egypt,
even from Egypt to the Euphrates
    and from sea to sea
    and from mountain to mountain.^(C)
¹³The earth will become desolate because of its inhabitants,
    as the result of their deeds.^(D)

Prayer and Praise

¹⁴Shepherd^(E) your people with your staff,^(F)
    the flock of your inheritance,
which lives by itself in a forest,
    in fertile pasturelands.^[a]^(G)
Let them feed in Bashan^(H) and Gilead^(I)
    as in days long ago.^(J)

¹⁵“As in the days when you came out of Egypt,
I will show them my wonders.^(K)”

¹⁶Nations will see and be ashamed,^(L)
    deprived of all their power.
They will put their hands over their mouths^(M)
    and their ears will become deaf.
¹⁷They will lick dust^(N) like a snake,
    like creatures that crawl on the ground.
They will come trembling^(O) out of their dens;
    they will turn in fear^(P) to the Lord our God
    and will be afraid of you.
