The Scriptures 1998

Micah 7:6-15 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

6. For son is despising father, daughter rises up against her mother, daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, the enemies of a man are the men of his own house.

7. As for me, I look to יהוה, I wait for the Elohim of my deliverance, my Elohim does hear me.

8. Do not rejoice over me, O my enemy. When I have fallen I have risen, when I sit in darkness יהוה is a light to me.

9. I bear the displeasure of יהוה, for I have sinned against Him, until He pleads my case, and shall execute right-ruling for me, until He brings me out into the light and I look on His righteousness.

10. And let my enemy see it, and let shame cover her who said to me, “Where is יהוה your Elohim?” Let my eyes look on her: now she is trampled down like mud in the streets.

11. The day for building your walls! Let the decree go far and wide in that day –

12. that day when they come to you from Ashshur and the besieged cities of Mitsrayim, and from the siege to the River, and from sea to sea, and mountain to mountain.

13. But the earth shall become a waste because of those who dwell in it, and for the fruit of their deeds.

14. Shepherd Your people with Your rod, the flock of Your inheritance, who dwell alone in a forest, in the midst of Karmel. Let them feed in Bashan and Gil‛aḏ, as in days of old.

15. “As in the days when you came out of the land of Mitsrayim, I shall let him see wonders.”
