Micheas 7:6-13 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

6. For the son dishonoureth the father, and the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law: and a man's enemies are they of his own household.

7. But I will look towards the Lord, I will wait for God my Saviour: my God will hear me.

8. Rejoice not, thou, my enemy, over me, because I am fallen: I shall arise, when I sit in darkness, the Lord is my light.

9. I will bear the wrath of the Lord, because I have sinned against him; until he judge my cause and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth into the light, I shall behold his justice.

10. And my enemy shall behold, and she shall be covered with shame, who saith to me: Where is the Lord thy God? My eyes shall look down upon her: now shall she be trodden under foot as the mire of the streets.

11. The day shall come, that thy walls may be built up: in that day shall the law be far removed.

12. In that day they shall come even from Assyria to thee, and 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 shall be made desolate, because of the inhabitants thereof, and for the fruit of their devices.
