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.
