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

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

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

9Because 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.

10Then 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.
