Micah 7:8-10

English Standard Version

⁸^(A)Rejoice not over me, O ^(B)my enemy;
    ^(C)when I fall, I shall rise;
^(D)when I sit in darkness,
    the Lord will be a light to me.
⁹^(E)I will bear the indignation of the Lord
    because I have sinned against him,
until ^(F)he pleads my cause
    and executes judgment for me.
^(G)He will bring me out to the light;
    I shall look upon his vindication.
¹⁰Then ^(H)my enemy will see,
    and shame will cover her who ^(I)said to me,
    “Where is the Lord your God?”
^(J)My eyes will look upon her;
    now she will be trampled down
    ^(K)like the mire of the streets.

God's Steadfast Love and Compassion

¹⁸^(A)Who is a God like you, ^(B)pardoning iniquity
    and passing over transgression
    ^(C)for the remnant of his inheritance?
^(D)He does not retain his anger forever,
    because he delights in steadfast love.
¹⁹He will ^(E)again have compassion on us;
    ^(F)he will tread our iniquities underfoot.
^(G)You will cast all our^[a] sins
    into the depths of the sea.
²⁰^(H)You will show faithfulness to Jacob
    and steadfast love to Abraham,
^(I)as you have sworn to our fathers
    from the days of old.

For God So Loved the World

¹⁶“For ^(A)God so loved ^(B)the world,^[a] ^(C)that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not ^(D)perish but have eternal life. ¹⁷For ^(E)God did not send his Son into the world ^(F)to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. ¹⁸^(G)Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not ^(H)believed in the name of the only Son of God. ¹⁹^(I)And this is the judgment: ^(J)the light has come into the world, and ^(K)people loved the darkness rather than the light because ^(L)their works were evil. ²⁰^(M)For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, ^(N)lest his works should be exposed. ²¹But whoever ^(O)does what is true ^(P)comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.”
