King James Version
Micah 7:5-13
King James Version
5 Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
6 For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
7 Therefore I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
8 Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me.
9 I will bear the indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.
10 Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is the Lord thy God? mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
11 In the day that thy walls are to be built, in that day shall the decree be far removed.
12 In that day also he shall come even to thee from Assyria, and from the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
13 Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.

Micah 7:5-13
New International Version
Micah 7:5-13
New International Version
5 Do not trust a neighbor;
put no confidence in a friend.(A)
Even with the woman who lies in your embrace
guard the words of your lips.
6 For a son dishonors his father,
a daughter rises up against her mother,(B)
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
a man’s enemies are the members of his own household.(C)
7 But as for me, I watch(D) in hope(E) for the Lord,
I wait for God my Savior;
my God will hear(F) me.
Israel Will Rise
8 Do not gloat over me,(G) my enemy!
Though I have fallen, I will rise.(H)
Though I sit in darkness,
the Lord will be my light.(I)
9 Because I have sinned against him,
I will bear the Lord’s wrath,(J)
until he pleads my case(K)
and upholds my cause.
He will bring me out into the light;(L)
I will see his righteousness.(M)
10 Then my enemy will see it
and will be covered with shame,(N)
she who said to me,
“Where is the Lord your God?”(O)
My eyes will see her downfall;(P)
even now she will be trampled(Q) underfoot
like mire in the streets.
11 The day for building your walls(R) will come,
the day for extending your boundaries.
12 In that day people will come to you
from Assyria(S) and the cities of Egypt,
even from Egypt to the Euphrates
and from sea to sea
and from mountain to mountain.(T)
13 The earth will become desolate because of its inhabitants,
as the result of their deeds.(U)
