Micah 7:7-15

English Standard Version

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

^11 (M)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,
    ^(N)from Assyria and the cities of Egypt,
and from Egypt to ^(O)the River,^{[b]
    (P)}from sea to sea and from mountain to mountain.
¹³ But ^(Q)the earth will be desolate
    because of its inhabitants,
    for the fruit of their deeds.

^14 (R)Shepherd your people ^(S)with your staff,
    the flock of your inheritance,
who dwell alone in a forest
    ^(T)in the midst of ^(U)a garden land;^[c]
let them graze in Bashan and Gilead
    as in the days of old.
^15 (V)As in the days when you came out of the land of Egypt,
    I will show them^[d] marvelous things.
