New Testament

Micah 7:9-19 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

9. I will carry the wrath of the Lord, because I have sinned against him, until he may judge my case and execute judgment for me. He will lead me into the light. I will behold his justice.

10. And my enemy will look, and she will be covered with confusion, she who says to me, "Where is the Lord your God?" My eyes will look upon her. Now she will be trampled under foot like the mud of the streets.

11. The day that your walls will be rebuilt, in that day the law will be far away.

12. In that day also, they will come towards you even from Assur, and even to the fortified cities, and from the fortified cities even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.

13. And the land will be in desolation, because of its inhabitants and because of the fruit of their intentions.

14. With your rod, pasture your people, the flock of your inheritance, living alone in the narrow forest, in the midst of Carmel. They will graze in Bashan and Gilead, as in the ancient days.

15. As in the days of your departure from the land of Egypt, I will reveal miracles to him.

16. The nations will look, and they will be confounded at the strength of them all. They will place hand over mouth; their ears will be deaf.

17. They will lick the dust like serpents, and, like the creeping things of the earth, they will be disturbed in their houses. They will dread the Lord our God, and they will fear you.

18. What God is like you, who takes away iniquity and passes over the sin of the remnant of your inheritance? No longer will he send forth his fury, because he is willing to be merciful.

19. He will turn back and have mercy on us. He will put away our iniquities, and he will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.
