Micah 7:8-13
Legacy Standard Bible
8 (A)Do not be glad over me, O (B)my enemy.
Though I fall I will (C)rise;
Though I inhabit the darkness, Yahweh is a (D)light for me.
9 I will bear the rage of Yahweh
Because I have sinned against Him,
Until He (E)pleads my case and does justice for me.
He will bring me out to the (F)light,
And I will see His [a](G)righteousness.
10 Then my enemy will see,
And shame will cover her who (H)said to me,
“Where is Yahweh your God?”
My eyes will look on her;
[b]At that time she will [c]be (I)trampled down
Like mire of the streets.
11 It will be a day for (J)building your walls.
On that day your boundary will be extended.
12 It will be a day when [d]they will (K)come to you
From Assyria and the cities of Egypt,
From Egypt even to the [e]River,
Even from sea to sea and mountain to mountain.
13 And the earth will become (L)desolate because of her inhabitants,
On account of the (M)fruit of their deeds.

Holman 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 rage
until He argues my case(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)
