Micah 7 (kjv)

7

WoeH480 is me! for I am as when they have gatheredH625 the summer fruitsH7019, as the grapegleaningsH5955 of the vintageH1210: there is no clusterH811 to eatH398: my soulH5315 desiredH183 the firstripe fruitH1063.2The goodH2623 man is perishedH6 out of the earthH776: and there is none uprightH3477 among menH120: they all lie in waitH693 for bloodH1818; they huntH6679 every manH376 his brotherH251 with a netH2764.

3That they may do evilH7451 with both handsH3709 earnestlyH3190, the princeH8269 askethH7592, and the judgeH8199 asketh for a rewardH7966; and the greatH1419 man, he utterethH1696 his mischievousH1942 desireH5315: so they wrap it upH5686.4The bestH2896 of them is as a brierH2312: the most uprightH3477 is sharper than a thorn hedgeH4534: the dayH3117 of thy watchmenH6822 and thy visitationH6486 comethH935; now shall be their perplexityH3998.

5TrustH539 ye not in a friendH7453, put ye not confidenceH982 in a guideH441: keepH8104 the doorsH6607 of thy mouthH6310 from her that liethH7901 in thy bosomH2436.6For the sonH1121 dishonourethH5034 the fatherH1, the daughterH1323 riseth upH6965 against her motherH517, the daughter in lawH3618 against her mother in lawH2545; a man'sH376 enemiesH341 are the menH582 of his own houseH1004.7Therefore I will lookH6822 unto the LORDH3068; I will waitH3176 for the GodH430 of my salvationH3468: my GodH430 will hearH8085 me.

8RejoiceH8055 not against me, O mine enemyH341: when I fallH5307, I shall ariseH6965; when I sitH3427 in darknessH2822, the LORDH3068 shall be a lightH216 unto me.9I will bearH5375 the indignationH2197 of the LORDH3068, because I have sinnedH2398 against him, until he pleadH7378 my causeH7379, and executeH6213 judgmentH4941 for me: he will bring me forthH3318 to the lightH216, and I shall beholdH7200 his righteousnessH6666.10Then she that is mine enemyH341 shall seeH7200 it, and shameH955 shall coverH3680 her which saidH559 unto me, Where is the LORDH3068 thy GodH430? mine eyesH5869 shall beholdH7200 her: now shall she be trodden downH4823 as the mireH2916 of the streetsH2351.11In the dayH3117 that thy wallsH1447 are to be builtH1129, in that dayH3117 shall the decreeH2706 be far removedH7368.12In that dayH3117 also he shall comeH935 even to thee from AssyriaH804, and from the fortifiedH4693 citiesH5892, and from the fortressH4693 even to the riverH5104, and from seaH3220 to seaH3220, and from mountainH2022 to mountainH2022.13Notwithstanding the landH776 shall be desolateH8077 because of them that dwellH3427 therein, for the fruitH6529 of their doingsH4611.

14FeedH7462 thy peopleH5971 with thy rodH7626, the flockH6629 of thine heritageH5159, which dwellH7931 solitarilyH910 in the woodH3293, in the midstH8432 of CarmelH3760: let them feedH7462 in BashanH1316 and GileadH1568, as in the daysH3117 of oldH5769.

15According to the daysH3117 of thy comingH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 will I shewH7200 unto him marvellousH6381 things.16The nationsH1471 shall seeH7200 and be confoundedH954 at all their mightH1369: they shall layH7760 their handH3027 upon their mouthH6310, their earsH241 shall be deafH2790.17They shall lickH3897 the dustH6083 like a serpentH5175, they shall moveH7264 out of their holesH4526 like wormsH2119 of the earthH776: they shall be afraidH6342 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, and shall fearH3372 because of thee.

18Who is a GodH410 like unto thee, that pardonethH5375 iniquityH5771, and passeth byH5674 the transgressionH6588 of the remnantH7611 of his heritageH5159? he retainethH2388 not his angerH639 for everH5703, because he delightethH2654 in mercyH2617.19He will turn againH7725, he will have compassionH7355 upon us; he will subdueH3533 our iniquitiesH5771; and thou wilt castH7993 all their sinsH2403 into the depthsH4688 of the seaH3220.20Thou wilt performH5414 the truthH571 to JacobH3290, and the mercyH2617 to AbrahamH85, which thou hast swornH7650 unto our fathersH1 from the daysH3117 of oldH6924.
