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.

New Living Translation
8 Do not gloat over me, my enemies!
For though I fall, I will rise again.
Though I sit in darkness,
the Lord will be my light.
9 I will be patient as the Lord punishes me,
for I have sinned against him.
But after that, he will take up my case
and give me justice for all I have suffered from my enemies.
The Lord will bring me into the light,
and I will see his righteousness.
10 Then my enemies will see that the Lord is on my side.
They will be ashamed that they taunted me, saying,
“So where is the Lord—
that God of yours?”
With my own eyes I will see their downfall;
they will be trampled like mud in the streets.
11 In that day, Israel, your cities will be rebuilt,
and your borders will be extended.
12 People from many lands will come and honor you—
from Assyria all the way to the towns of Egypt,
from Egypt all the way to the Euphrates River,[a]
and from distant seas and mountains.
13 But the land[b] will become empty and desolate
because of the wickedness of those who live there.
