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)

New International Version
Israel Will Rise
8 Do not gloat over me,(A) my enemy!
Though I have fallen, I will rise.(B)
Though I sit in darkness,
the Lord will be my light.(C)
9 Because I have sinned against him,
I will bear the Lord’s wrath,(D)
until he pleads my case(E)
and upholds my cause.
He will bring me out into the light;(F)
I will see his righteousness.(G)
10 Then my enemy will see it
and will be covered with shame,(H)
she who said to me,
“Where is the Lord your God?”(I)
My eyes will see her downfall;(J)
even now she will be trampled(K) underfoot
like mire in the streets.
11 The day for building your walls(L) will come,
the day for extending your boundaries.
12 In that day people will come to you
from Assyria(M) and the cities of Egypt,
even from Egypt to the Euphrates
and from sea to sea
and from mountain to mountain.(N)
13 The earth will become desolate because of its inhabitants,
as the result of their deeds.(O)
