Micah 7:9-11

International Standard Version

⁹ I will endure the Lord’s anger—
    since I have sinned against him—
until he takes over my defense,
    administers justice on my behalf,
and brings me out to the light,
    where I will gaze on his righteousness.
¹⁰ Then my enemy will observe it,
    and shame will engulf the ones^[a] who asked me,
        ‘Where is the Lord your God?’
My own eyes will see them,^[b]
    they^[c] will be trampled on like mud in the streets.

¹¹ When the time comes^[d] for rebuilding your walls,
    that time^[e] will surely be extended.^[f]
