Micah 7:8 in context

Micah 7:5–11

5

Don’t trust in a neighbor.

Don’t put confidence in a friend.

With the woman lying in your embrace,

be careful of the words of your mouth!

6

For the son dishonors the father,

the daughter rises up against her mother,

the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;

a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.

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
Selected verse

Don’t rejoice against me, my enemy.

When I fall, I will arise.

When I sit in darkness, the LORD will be a light to me.

9

I will bear the indignation of the LORD,

because I have sinned against him,

until he pleads my case and executes judgment for me.

He will bring me out to the light.

I will see his righteousness.

10

Then my enemy will see it,

and shame will cover her who said to me,

“Where is the LORD your God?”

My eyes will see her.

Now she will be trodden down like the mire of the streets.

11

A day to build your walls!

In that day, he will extend your boundary.
