Micah 7:5-10

New American Standard Bible

⁵Do not ^(A)trust in a neighbor;
Do not have confidence in a close friend.
Guard ^[a]your lips
From her who lies ^[b]in your arms.
⁶For ^(B)son disavows father,
Daughter rises up against her mother,
Daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
^(C)A person’s enemies are the people of his own household.

God Is the Source of Salvation and Light

⁷But as for me, I will ^(D)be on the watch for the Lord;
I will ^(E)wait for the God of my salvation.
My ^(F)God will hear me.
⁸^(G)Do not rejoice over me, ^(H)enemy of mine.
Though I fall I will ^(I)rise;
Though I live in darkness, the Lord is a ^(J)light for me.

⁹I will endure the rage of the Lord
Because I have sinned against Him,
Until He ^(K)pleads my case and executes justice for me.
He will bring me out to the ^(L)light,
And I will look at His ^[c]^(M)righteousness.
¹⁰Then my enemy will see,
And shame will cover her who ^(N)said to me,
“Where is the Lord your God?”
My eyes will look at her;
^[d]At that time she will ^[e]be ^(O)trampled down
Like mud of the streets.
