New Testament

Micah 7:5-15 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

5. Do not trust in a neighbor; Do not have confidence in a friend. From her who lies in your bosom Guard your lips.

6. For son treats father contemptuously, Daughter rises up against her mother, Daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; A man's enemies are the men of his own household.

7. But as for me, I will watch expectantly for the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.

8. Do not rejoice over me, O my enemy. Though I fall I will rise; Though I dwell in darkness, the Lord is a light for me.

9. I will bear the indignation of the Lord Because I have sinned against Him, Until He pleads my case and executes justice for me. He will bring me out to the light, And I will see His righteousness.

10. Then my enemy will see, And shame will cover her who said to me, "Where is the Lord your God?" My eyes will look on her; At that time she will be trampled down Like mire of the streets.

11. It will be a day for building your walls. On that day will your boundary be extended.

12. It will be a day when they will come to you From Assyria and the cities of Egypt, From Egypt even to the Euphrates, Even from sea to sea and mountain to mountain.

13. And the earth will become desolate because of her inhabitants, On account of the fruit of their deeds.

14. Shepherd Your people with Your scepter, The flock of Your possession Which dwells by itself in the woodland, In the midst of a fruitful field. Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead As in the days of old.

15. "As in the days when you came out from the land of Egypt, I will show you miracles."
