Micah 7:8-13 - Zion's Vindication

⁸ Do not rejoice over me, O my enemy.
Though I fall I will rise;
Though I dwell in darkness, the Lord is a light for me.
⁹ I will bear the indignation of the Lord
Because I have sinned against Him,
Until He pleads my case and executes justice for me.
He will bring me out to the light,
And I will see His righteousness.
¹⁰ Then my enemy will see,
And shame will cover her who said to me,
“Where is the Lord your God?”
My eyes will look on her;
At that time she will be trampled down
Like mire of the streets.

¹¹ It will be a day for building your walls.
On that day will your boundary be extended.
¹² It will be a day when they will come to you
From Assyria and the cities of Egypt,
From Egypt even to the Euphrates,
Even from sea to sea and mountain to mountain.
¹³ And the earth will become desolate because of her inhabitants,
On account of the fruit of their deeds.
