Micah 7 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Woe ^H480 is me! For I am ^H1961

Like the fruit ^H7019 pickers ^H625, like the grape ^H1210 gatherers ^H5955.

There ^H369 is ^H369 not ^H369 a cluster ^H811 of ^H811 grapes ^H811 to eat ^H398,

Or a first-ripe ^H1063 fig ^H1063 which my soul ^H5315 desires ^H183.

The [fn]holy ^H2623 one ^H2623 has perished ^H6 from the land ^H776,

And there ^H369 is ^H369 no ^H369 upright ^H3477 person among men ^H120.

All ^H3605 of them lie ^H693 in ^H693 wait ^H693 for bloodshed ^H1818;

Each ^H376 of them hunts ^H6679 the other ^H251 with a net ^H2764.

Concerning ^H5921 evil ^H7451, both hands ^H3709 do ^H3190 it well ^H3190.

The prince ^H8269 asks ^H7592, also the judge ^H8199, for a payment ^H7966,

And a great ^H1419 man ^H1419 speaks ^H1696 the craving ^H1942 of his soul ^H5315;

So they weave ^H5686 it together ^H5686.

The best ^H2896 of them is like a briar ^H2312,

The most upright ^H3477 like a thorn ^H4534 hedge ^H4534.

The day ^H3117 when you post your watchmen ^H6822,

Your punishment ^H6486 will come ^H935.

[fn]At that time ^H6258 their panic ^H3998 will happen ^H1961.

Do not believe ^H539 in a neighbor ^H7453;

Do not have ^H982 confidence ^H982 in a close ^H441 companion ^H441.

From her who lies ^H7901 in your bosom ^H2436

Guard ^H8104 the openings ^H6607 of your mouth ^H6310.

For son ^H1121 treats ^H5034 father ^H1 as a wicked ^H5034 fool ^H5034;

Daughter ^H1323 rises ^H6965 up ^H6965 against her mother ^H517,

Daughter-in-law ^H3618 against her mother-in-law ^H2545;

A man’s ^H376 enemies ^H340 are the men ^H376 of his own household ^H1004.

But as for me, I will watch ^H6822 expectantly ^H6822 for Yahweh ^H3068;

I will wait ^H3176 for the God ^H430 of my salvation ^H3468.

My God ^H430 will hear ^H8085 me.

Do not be glad ^H8055 over me, O my enemy ^H340.

Though ^H3588 I fall ^H5307 I will rise ^H6965;

Though ^H3588 I inhabit ^H3427 the darkness ^H2822, Yahweh ^H3068 is a light ^H216 for me.

I will bear ^H5375 the rage ^H2197 of Yahweh ^H3068

Because ^H3588 I have sinned ^H2398 against Him,

Until ^H5704 H834 He pleads ^H7378 my case ^H7379 and does ^H6213 justice ^H4941 for me.

He will bring ^H3318 me out ^H3318 to the light ^H216,

And I will see ^H7200 His [fn]righteousness ^H6666.

Then my enemy ^H340 will see ^H7200,

And shame ^H955 will cover ^H3680 her who said ^H559 to me,

“Where ^H335 is Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430?”

My eyes ^H5869 will look ^H7200 on her;

[fn]At that time ^H6258 she will [fn]be trampled ^H4823 down ^H4823

Like mire ^H2916 of the streets ^H2351.

It will be a day ^H3117 for building ^H1129 your walls ^H1447.

On that day ^H3117 your boundary ^H2706 will be extended ^H7368.

It will be a day ^H3117 when [fn]they will come ^H935 to you

From Assyria ^H804 and the cities ^H5892 of Egypt ^H4693,

From Egypt ^H4693 even to the [fn]River ^H5104,

Even from sea ^H3220 to sea ^H3220 and mountain ^H2022 to mountain ^H2022.

And the earth ^H776 will become ^H1961 desolate ^H8077 because ^H5921 of her inhabitants ^H3427,

On ^H4480 account ^H4480 of ^H4480 the fruit ^H6529 of their deeds ^H4611.

Shepherd ^H7462 Your people ^H5971 with Your scepter ^H7626,

The flock ^H6629 of Your inheritance ^H5159

Which dwells ^H7931 by itself ^H910 in the forest ^H3293,

In the midst ^H8432 of [fn]a fruitful ^H3759 orchard ^H3759.

Let them feed ^H7462 in Bashan ^H1316 and Gilead ^H1568

As in the ancient ^H5769 days ^H3117.

“As in the days ^H3117 when you came ^H3318 out ^H3318 from the land ^H776 of Egypt ^H4714,

I will show ^H7200 [fn]you wondrous ^H6381 deeds ^H6381.”

Nations ^H1471 will see ^H7200 and be ^H954 ashamed ^H954

Of all ^H3605 their might ^H1369.

They will put ^H7760 their hand ^H3027 on their mouth ^H6310;

Their ears ^H241 will be ^H2790 deaf ^H2790.

They will lick ^H3897 the dust ^H6083 like a serpent ^H5175,

Like crawling ^H2119 things ^H2119 of the earth ^H776.

They will come ^H7264 trembling ^H7264 out of their [fn]fortresses ^H4526;

To Yahweh ^H3068 our God ^H430 they will come ^H6342 in ^H6342 dread ^H6342,

And they will be ^H3372 afraid ^H3372 before ^H4480 You.

Who ^H4310 is a God ^H410 like ^H3644 You, who forgives ^H5375 iniquity ^H5771

And passes ^H5674 over ^H5921 the transgression ^H6588 of the remnant ^H7611 of His inheritance ^H5159?

He does not hold ^H2388 fast ^H2388 to His anger ^H639 forever ^H5703

Because ^H3588 He delights ^H2654 in lovingkindness ^H2617.

He will again ^H7725 have ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 us;

He will subdue ^H3533 our iniquities ^H5771.

And You will cast ^H7993 all ^H3605 [fn]their sins ^H2403

Into the depths ^H4688 of the sea ^H3220.

You will give ^H5414 [fn]truth ^H571 to Jacob ^H3290

And lovingkindness ^H2617 to Abraham ^H85,

Which ^H834 You swore ^H7650 to our fathers ^H1

From the days ^H3117 of old ^H6924.
