Micah 7 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Woe ^H480 to me! For I am ^H1961

Like harvests ^H622 of summer ^H7019 fruit ^H7019, like gleanings ^H5955 of grapes ^H1210.

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

Nor an early ^H1063 fig ^H1063, which [fn]I crave ^H183.

The [fn]godly ^H2623 person ^H2623 has perished ^H6 from the land ^H776,

And there ^H369 is ^H369 no ^H369 upright ^H3477 person among mankind ^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.

As for evil ^H7451, both hands ^H3709 do ^H3190 it well ^H3190.

The leader ^H8269 asks ^H7592 for a bribe ^H7966, also the judge ^H8199,

And the great ^H1419 one ^H1419 speaks ^H1696 the capricious ^H1942 desire ^H1942 of his soul ^H5315;

So they plot ^H5686 it together ^H5686.

The best ^H2896 of them is like a thorn ^H2312 bush ^H2312,

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

The day ^H3117 [fn]when you post your watchmen ^H6822,

Your punishment ^H6486 is coming ^H935.

Then ^H6258 their confusion ^H3998 will occur ^H1961.

Do not trust ^H982 in a neighbor ^H7453;

Do not have ^H982 confidence ^H982 in a close ^H7453 friend ^H7453.

Guard ^H8104 [fn]your lips ^H6310

From her who lies ^H7901 [fn]in your arms ^H2436.

For son ^H1121 disavows ^H5034 father ^H1,

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

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

A person’s ^H376 enemies ^H340 are the people ^H376 of his own household ^H1004.

But as for me, I will be on the watch ^H6822 for the LORD ^H3068;

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

My God ^H430 will hear ^H8085 me.

Do not rejoice ^H8055 over me, enemy ^H340 of mine.

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

Though ^H3588 I live ^H3427 in darkness ^H2822, the LORD ^H3068 is a light ^H216 for me.

I will endure ^H5375 the rage ^H2197 of the LORD ^H3068

Because ^H3588 I have sinned ^H2398 against Him,

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

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

And I will look ^H7200 at 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 the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430?”

My eyes ^H5869 will look ^H7200 at her;

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

Like mud ^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 Euphrates River ^H5104,

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

And the earth ^H776 will become ^H1961 a wasteland ^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 [fn]possession ^H5159

Which lives ^H7931 by itself ^H910 in the woodland ^H3293,

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

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

As in the days ^H3117 of old ^H5769.

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

I will show ^H7200 [fn]you miracles ^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 up ^H3897 dust ^H6083 like a snake ^H5175,

Like [fn]reptiles ^H2119 of the earth ^H776.

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

To the LORD ^H3068 our God ^H430 they will come ^H6342 in ^H6342 trepidation ^H6342,

And they will be ^H3372 afraid ^H3372 of You.

Who ^H4310 is a God ^H410 like ^H3644 You, who pardons ^H5375 wrongdoing ^H5771

And passes ^H5674 over ^H5921 a rebellious ^H6588 act ^H6588 of the remnant ^H7611 of His [fn]possession ^H5159?

He does not retain ^H2388 His anger ^H639 forever ^H5703,

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

He will again ^H7725 take ^H7355 pity ^H7355 on ^H7355 us;

He will trample ^H3533 on our wrongdoings ^H5771.

Yes, 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 favor ^H2617 to Abraham ^H85,

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

From the days ^H3117 of old ^H6924.
