Book 33 : MICAH - Chapter 007
007:001
The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none
upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt
every man his brother with a net
007:002
That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince
asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man,
he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up
007:003
The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper
than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation
cometh; now shall be their perplexity
007:004
Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide:
keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom
007:005
For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up
against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in
law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house
007:006
Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God
of my salvation: my God will hear me
007:007
Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall
arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto
me
007:008
I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned
against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for
me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold
his righteousness
007:009
Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall
cover her which said unto me, Where is the LORD thy God? mine
eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the
mire of the streets
007:010
In the day that thy walls are to be built, in that day shall
the decree be far removed
007:011
In that day also he shall come even to thee from Assyria, and
from the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the
river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain
007:012
Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them
that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings
007:013
Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage,
which dwell solitarily in the wood, in the midst of Carmel:
let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old
007:014
According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt
will I shew unto him marvellous things
007:015
The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might:
they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall
be deaf
007:016
They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out
of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid
of the LORD our God, and shall fear because of thee
007:017
Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and
passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage?
he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in
mercy
007:018
He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will
subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into
the depths of the sea
007:019
Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to
Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days
of old.
