ylt @Micah:7:1 @My wo [is ] to me , for I have been As gatherings of summer-fruit , As gleanings of harvest , There is no cluster to eat , The first-ripe fruit desired hath my soul . ylt @Micah:7:2 @Perished hath the kind out of the land , And upright among men -- there are none , All of them for blood lie in wait , Each his brother they hunt [with ] a net . ylt @Micah:7:3 @On the evil [are ] both hands to do [it ] well , The prince is asking -- also the judge -- for recompence , And the great -- he is speaking the mischief of his soul , And they wrap it up . ylt @Micah:7:4 @Their best one [is ] as a brier , The upright one -- than a thorn-hedge , The day of thy watchmen -- Thy visitation -- hath come . Now is their perplexity . ylt @Micah:7:5 @Believe not in a friend , trust not in a leader , From her who is lying in thy bosom keep the openings of thy mouth . ylt @Micah:7:6 @For a son is dishonouring a father , A daughter hath stood against her mother , A daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law , The enemies of each [are ] the men of his house . ylt @Micah:7:7 @And I -- in Jehovah I do watch , I do wait for the God of my salvation , Hear me doth my God . ylt @Micah:7:8 @Thou dost not rejoice over me , O mine enemy , When I have fallen , I have risen , When I sit in darkness Jehovah is a light to me . ylt @Micah:7:9 @The indignation of Jehovah I do bear , For I have sinned against Him , Till that He doth plead my cause , And hath executed my judgment , He doth bring me forth to the light , I look on His righteousness . ylt @Micah:7:10 @And see doth mine enemy , And cover her doth shame , Who saith unto me , 'Where [is ] Jehovah thy God ?' Mine eyes do look on her , Now she is for a treading-place , As mire of the out-places . ylt @Micah:7:11 @The day to build thy walls ! That day -- removed is the limit . ylt @Micah:7:12 @That day -- even unto thee it doth come in , From Asshur and the cities of the fortress , And from the fortress even unto the river , And from sea to sea , and mount to mount . ylt @Micah:7:13 @And the land hath been for a desolation , Because of its inhabitants , Because of the fruit of their doings . ylt @Micah:7:14 @Rule Thou Thy people with Thy rod , The flock of Thine inheritance , Dwelling alone [in ] a forest in the midst of Carmel , They enjoy Bashan and Gilead as in days of old . ylt @Micah:7:15 @According to the days of thy coming forth out of the land of Egypt , I do shew it wonderful things . ylt @Micah:7:16 @See do nations , and they are ashamed of all their might , They lay a hand on the mouth , their ears are deaf . ylt @Micah:7:17 @They lick dust as a serpent , as fearful things of earth , They tremble from their enclosures , Of Jehovah our God they are afraid , Yea , they are afraid of Thee . ylt @Micah:7:18 @Who [is ] a God like Thee ? taking away iniquity , And passing by the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance , He hath not retained for ever His anger , Because He -- He delighteth [in ] kindness . ylt @Micah:7:19 @He doth turn back , He pitieth us , He doth subdue our iniquities , And Thou castest into the depths of the sea all their sins . ylt @Micah:7:20 @Thou givest truth to Jacob , kindness to Abraham , That thou hast sworn to our fathers , from the days of antiquity !
