Micah 7:8-13

English Standard Version

^8 (A)Rejoice not over me, O ^(B)my enemy;
    ^(C)when I fall, I shall rise;
^(D)when I sit in darkness,
    the Lord will be a light to me.
^9 (E)I will bear the indignation of the Lord
    because I have sinned against him,
until ^(F)he pleads my cause
    and executes judgment for me.
^(G)He will bring me out to the light;
    I shall look upon his vindication.
¹⁰ Then ^(H)my enemy will see,
    and shame will cover her who ^(I)said to me,
    “Where is the Lord your God?”
^(J)My eyes will look upon her;
    now she will be trampled down
    ^(K)like the mire of the streets.

^11 (L)A day for the building of your walls!
    In that day the boundary shall be far extended.
¹² In that day they^[a] will come to you,
    ^(M)from Assyria and the cities of Egypt,
and from Egypt to ^(N)the River,^{[b]
    (O)}from sea to sea and from mountain to mountain.
¹³ But ^(P)the earth will be desolate
    because of its inhabitants,
    for the fruit of their deeds.
