Micah 7:9-16 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

9. Because I have sinned against Him,I must endure the Lord’s rageuntil He argues my case and establishes justice for me. He will bring me into the light; I will see His salvation.

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

11. A day will come for rebuilding your walls; on that day your boundary will be extended.

12. On that day people will come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt,even from Egypt to the Euphrates Riverand from sea to seaand mountain to mountain.

13. Then the earth will become a wasteland because of its inhabitantsand as a result of their actions.

14. Shepherd Your people with Your staff, the flock that is Your possession.They live alone in a woodlandsurrounded by pastures.Let them graze in Bashan and Gilead as in ancient times.

15. I will perform miracles for them as in the days of your exodusfrom the land of Egypt.

16. Nations will see and be ashamedof all their power.They will put their hands over their mouths, and their ears will become deaf.
