Micah 7:7-10

From Covenant Ruin to Confession, Waiting, and Hope in the God Who Pardons

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

7 But as for me, I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.

8 Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will arise; though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light.

9 Because I have sinned against Him, I must endure the rage of the LORD, until He argues my case and executes justice for me. He will bring me into the light; I will see His righteousness.

10 Then my enemy will see and will be covered with shame—she who said to me, “Where is the LORD your God?” My eyes will see her; at that time she will be trampled like mud in the streets.
