Micah 7:8-13
Christian Standard Bible
Zion’s Vindication
8 Do not rejoice over me,(A) my enemy!
Though I have fallen, I will stand up;(B)
though I sit in darkness,
the Lord will be my light.(C)
9 Because I have sinned against him,
I must endure the Lord’s fury
until he champions my cause(D)
and establishes justice for me.(E)
He will bring me into the light;(F)
I will see his salvation.[a](G)
10 Then my enemy will see,
and she will be covered with shame,
the one who said to me,
“Where is the Lord your God?” (H)
My eyes will look at her in triumph;
at that time she will be trampled
like mud in the streets.(I)
11 A day will come for rebuilding your walls;(J)
on that day your boundary will be extended.(K)
12 On that day people will come to you(L)
from Assyria and the cities of Egypt,
even from Egypt to the Euphrates River
and from sea to sea
and mountain to mountain.
13 Then the earth will become a wasteland(M)
because of its inhabitants
and as a result of their actions.(N)

Micah 7:8-13
Lexham English Bible
8 You should not rejoice over me, O my enemy!
When I fall I will stand up;
when I sit in darkness
Yahweh will be a light for me.
9 I will bear the rage of Yahweh,
for I have sinned against him,
until he pleads my cause
and executes my justice.
He will bring me out to the light;
I will see his righteousness.
10 Then my enemy will see,
and shame will cover her who said to me,
“Where is Yahweh your God?”
My eyes will look upon her;
now she will become a trampling place,
like mud in the streets.
11 A day for building your walls;
on that day he will extend your boundary.
12 On that day he will come to you
from Assyria and the cities of Egypt,
and from Egypt to the River,
and from sea to sea
and mountain to mountain.
13 But the earth will be a desolation
because of its inhabitants,
for the fruit of their deeds.
