Micah 7:8-13 - Zion's Vindication

⁸ My enemies, do not gloat over me! Though I have fallen, I will get up. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light. ⁹ I must endure the Lord's anger, for I have sinned against him. But then he will defend my cause, and accomplish justice on my behalf. He will lead me out into the light; I will experience firsthand his deliverance. ¹⁰ When my enemies see this, they will be covered with shame. They say to me, "Where is the Lord your God?" I will gloat over them. Then they will be trampled down like mud in the streets.

¹¹ It will be a day for rebuilding your walls; in that day your boundary will be extended. ¹² In that day people will come to you from Assyria as far as Egypt, from Egypt as far as the Euphrates River, from the seacoasts and the mountains. ¹³ The earth will become desolate because of what its inhabitants have done.
