Micah 7:8-13
New English Translation
Jerusalem Will Be Vindicated
8 My enemies,[a] do not gloat[b] over me!
Though I have fallen, I will get up.
Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light.[c]
9 I must endure[d] the Lord’s fury,
for I have sinned against him.
But then[e] he will defend my cause[f]
and accomplish justice on my behalf.
He will lead me out into the light;
I will witness his deliverance.[g]
10 When my enemies see this, they will be covered with shame.
They say[h] to me, “Where is the Lord your God?”
I will gloat over them;[i]
then they will be trampled down[j]
like mud in the streets.
11 It will be a day for rebuilding your walls;
in that day your boundary will be extended.[k]
A Closing Prayer
12 In that day people[l] will come to you[m]
from Assyria as far as[n] Egypt,
from Egypt as far as the Euphrates River,[o]
from the seacoasts[p] and the mountains.[q]
13 The earth will become desolate
because of what its inhabitants have done.[r]

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)
