Micah 7:5-10

New King James Version

⁵^(A)Do not trust in a friend;
Do not put your confidence in a companion;
Guard the doors of your mouth
From her who lies in your ^(B)bosom.
⁶For ^(C)son dishonors father,
Daughter rises against her mother,
Daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
A man’s enemies are the men of his own household.
⁷Therefore I will look to the Lord;
I will ^(D)wait for the God of my salvation;
My God will hear me.

Israel’s Confession and Comfort

⁸^(E)Do not rejoice over me, my enemy;
^(F)When I fall, I will arise;
When I sit in darkness,
The Lord will be a light to me.
⁹^(G)I will bear the indignation of the Lord,
Because I have sinned against Him,
Until He pleads my ^(H)case
And executes justice for me.
He will bring me forth to the light;
I will see His righteousness.
¹⁰Then she who is my enemy will see,
And ^(I)shame will cover her who said to me,
^(J)“Where is the Lord your God?”
My eyes will see her;
Now she will be trampled down
Like mud in the streets.
