Micah 7:7-20  NAS

But as for me, I will watch expectantly for the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation.  My God will hear me.  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.

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.  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.  It will be a day for building walls.  On that day will your boundary be extended.  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.  And the earth will become desolate because of her inhabitants, on account of the fruit of their deeds.

Shepherd Your people with Your scepter, the flock of Your possession which dwells by itself in the woodland, in the midst of a fruitful field.  Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead as in the days of old.  As in the days when you came out from the land of Egypt, I will show you miracles.  Nations will see and be ashamed of all their might.  They will put their hand on their mouth, their ears will be deaf.  They will lick the dust like a serpent, like reptiles of the earth.  They will come trembling out of their fortresses; to the Lord our God they will come in dread and they will be afraid before You.  Who is a God like You, who pardons iniquity and passes over the rebellious act of the remnant of His possession?  He does not retain His anger forever, because He delights in unchanging love.  He will again have compassion on us; He will tread our iniquities under foot.  Yes, You will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.  You will give truth to Jacob and unchanging love to Abraham, which You swore to our forefathers from the days of old.
