ISA-11:9 ...for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD,

as the waters cover the sea.

Micah 1

1. The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> that came <01961> to

Micah <04318> the Morasthite <04183> in the days <03117> of

Jotham <03147>, Ahaz <0271>, [and] Hezekiah <02396>, kings

<04428> of Judah <03063>, which <0834> he saw <02372> concerning

<05921> Samaria <08111> and Jerusalem <03389>.

2 Hear <08085>, all <03605> ye people <05971>; hearken <07181>,

O earth <0776>, and all <04393> that therein <04393> is: and let

the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> be witness <05707> against you, the

Lord <0136> from his holy <06944> temple <01964>.

3 For, behold <02009>, the LORD <03068> cometh <03318> forth

<03318> out of his place <04725>, and will come <03381> down

<03381>, and tread <01869> upon the high <01116> places of the

earth <0776>.

4 And the mountains <02022> shall be molten <04549> under

<08478> him, and the valleys <06010> shall be cleft <01234>, as

wax <01749> before <06440> the fire <0784>, [and] as the waters

<04325> [that are] poured <05064> down a steep <04174> place.

5 For the transgression <06588> of Jacob <03290> [is] all

<03605> this <02063>, and for the sins <02403> of the house

<01004> of Israel <03478>. What <04310> [is] the transgression

<06588> of Jacob <03290>? [is it] not Samaria <08111>? and what

<04310> [are] the high <01116> places of Judah <03063>? [are

they] not Jerusalem <03389>?

6 Therefore I will make <07760> Samaria <08111> as an heap

<05856> of the field <07704>, [and] as plantings <04302> of a

vineyard <03754>: and I will pour <05064> down the stones <068>

thereof into the valley <01516>, and I will discover <01540> the

foundations <03247> thereof.

7 And all <03605> the graven <06456> images thereof shall be

beaten <03807> to pieces, and all <03605> the hires <0868>

thereof shall be burned <08313> with the fire <0784>, and all

<03605> the idols <06091> thereof will I lay <07760> desolate

<08077>: for she gathered <06908> [it] of the hire <0868> of an

harlot <02181>, and they shall return <07725> to the hire <0868>

of an harlot <02181>.

8. Therefore I will wail <05594> and howl <03213>, I will go

<03212> stripped <07758> and naked <06174>: I will make <06213>

a wailing <04553> like the dragons <08577>, and mourning <060>

as the owls.

9 For her wound <04347> [is] incurable <0605>; for it is come

<0935> unto Judah <03063>; he is come <05060> unto the gate

<08179> of my people <05971>, [even] to Jerusalem <03389>.

10 Declare <05046> ye [it] not at Gath <01661>, weep <01058> ye

not at all: in the house <01035> of Aphrah <01036> roll <06428>

thyself in the dust <06083>.

11 Pass <05674> ye away, thou inhabitant <03427> of Saphir

<08208>, having thy shame <01322> naked <06181>: the inhabitant

<03427> of Zaanan came <03318> not forth <03318> in the mourning

<04553> of Bethezel <01018>; he shall receive <03947> of you his

standing <05979>.

12 For the inhabitant <03427> of Maroth <04796> waited <02342>

carefully <02470> for good <02896>: but evil <07451> came

<03381> down <03381> from the LORD <03068> unto the gate <08179>

of Jerusalem <03389>.

13 O thou inhabitant <03427> of Lachish <03923>, bind <07573>

the chariot <04818> to the swift <07409> beast <07409>: she [is]

the beginning <07225> of the sin <02403> to the daughter <01323>

of Zion <06726>: for the transgressions <06588> of Israel

<03478> were found <04672> in thee.

14 Therefore <03651> shalt thou give <05414> presents <07964>

to Moreshethgath <04182>: the houses <01004> of Achzib <0392>

[shall be] a lie <0391> to the kings <04428> of Israel <03478>.

15 Yet <05750> will I bring <0935> an heir <03423> unto thee, O

inhabitant <03427> of Mareshah <04762>: he shall come <0935>

unto Adullam <05725> the glory <03519> of Israel <03478>.

16 Make thee bald <07139>, and poll <01494> thee for thy

delicate <08588> children <01121>; enlarge <07337> thy baldness

<07144> as the eagle <05404>; for they are gone into captivity

<01540> from thee.

Micah 2

1. Woe <01945> to them that devise <02803> iniquity <0205>, and

work <06466> evil <07451> upon their beds <04904>! when the

morning <01242> is light <0216>, they practise <06213> it,

because <03588> it is in the power <0410> of their hand <03027>.

2 And they covet <02530> fields <07704>, and take <05375>

[them] by violence <01497>; and houses <01004>, and take <05375>

[them] away <07726>: so they oppress <06231> a man <01397> and

his house <01004>, even a man <0376> and his heritage <05159>.

3 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>;

Behold <02005>, against <05921> this <02063> family <04940> do I

devise <02803> an evil <07451>, from which <0834> ye shall not

remove <04185> your necks <06677>; neither <03808> shall ye go

<03212> haughtily <07317>: for this <01931> time <06256> [is]

evil <07451>.

4 In that day <03117> shall [one] take <05375> up a parable

<04912> against <05921> you, and lament <05091> with a doleful

<05093> lamentation <05092>, [and] say <0559>, We be utterly

<07703> spoiled <07703>: he hath changed <04171> the portion

<02506> of my people <05971>: how <0349> hath he removed <04185>

[it] from me! turning <07725> away he hath divided <02505> our

fields <07704>.

5 Therefore <03651> thou shalt have <01961> none <03808> that

shall cast <07993> a cord <02256> by lot <01486> in the

congregation <06951> of the LORD <03068>.

6. Prophesy <05197> ye not, [say they to them that] prophesy

<05197>: they shall not prophesy <05197> to them, [that] they

shall not take <05253> shame <03639>.

7 O [thou that art] named <0559> the house <01004> of Jacob

<03290>, is the spirit <07307> of the LORD <03068> straitened

<07114>? [are] these <0428> his doings <04611>? do not my words

<01697> do good <03190> to him that walketh <01980> uprightly

<03477>?

8 Even of late <0865> my people <05971> is risen <06965> up as

an enemy <0341>: ye pull <06584> off the robe <0145> with the

garment <08008> from them that pass <05674> by securely <0983>

as men averse <07725> from war <04421>.

9 The women <0802> of my people <05971> have ye cast <01644>

out from their pleasant <08588> houses <01004>; from their

children <05768> have ye taken <03947> away my glory <01926> for

ever <05769>.

10 Arise <06965> ye, and depart <03212>; for this <02063> [is]

not [your] rest <04496>: because <05668> it is polluted <02930>,

it shall destroy <02254> [you], even with a sore <04834>

destruction <02256>.

11 If <05863> a man <0376> walking <01980> in the spirit

<07307> and falsehood <08267> do lie <03576>, [saying], I will

prophesy <05197> unto thee of wine <03196> and of strong <07941>

drink <07941>; he shall even be the prophet <05197> of this

<02088> people <05971>.

12. I will surely assemble <0622>, O Jacob <03290>, all <03605>

of thee; I will surely gather <06908> the remnant <07611> of

Israel <03478>; I will put <07760> them together <03162> as the

sheep <06629> of Bozrah <01224>, as the flock <05739> in the

midst <08432> of their fold <01699>: they shall make great noise

<01949> by reason of [the multitude of] men <0120>.

13 The breaker <06555> is come <05927> up before <06440> them:

they have broken <06555> up, and have passed <05674> through the

gate <08179>, and are gone <03318> out by it: and their king

<04428> shall pass <05674> before <06440> them, and the LORD

<03068> on the head <07218> of them.

Micah 3

1. And I said <0559>, Hear <08085>, I pray <04994> you, O heads

<07218> of Jacob <03290>, and ye princes <07101> of the house

<01004> of Israel <03478>; [Is it] not for you to know <03045>

judgment <04941>?

2 Who <04310> hate <08130> the good <02896>, and love <0157>

the evil <07451>; who <04310> pluck <01497> off their skin

<05785> from off them, and their flesh <07607> from off <05921>

their bones <06106>;

3 Who <04310> also eat <0398> the flesh <07607> of my people

<05971>, and flay <06584> their skin <05785> from off <05921>

them; and they break <06746> their bones <06106>, and chop

<06566> them in pieces, as for the pot <05518>, and as flesh

<01320> within <08432> the caldron <07037>.

4 Then <0227> shall they cry <02199> unto the LORD <03068>, but

he will not hear <06030> them: he will even hide <05641> his

face <06440> from them at that time <06256>, as they have

behaved <07489> themselves ill <07489> in their doings <04611>.

5 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> concerning <05921>

the prophets <05030> that make my people <05971> err <08582>,

that bite <05391> with their teeth <08127>, and cry <07121>,

Peace <07965>; and he that putteth <05414> not into <05921>

their mouths <06310>, they even prepare <06942> war <04421>

against <05921> him.

6 Therefore <03651> night <03915> [shall be] unto you, that ye

shall not have a vision <02377>; and it shall be dark <02821>

unto you, that ye shall not divine <07080>; and the sun <08121>

shall go <0935> down over <05921> the prophets <05030>, and the

day <03117> shall be dark <06937> over <05921> them.

7 Then shall the seers <02374> be ashamed <0954>, and the

diviners <07080> confounded <02659>: yea, they shall all <03605>

cover <05844> their lips <08222>; for [there is] no <0369>

answer <04617> of God <0430>.

8. But truly <0199> I am full <04390> of power <03581> by the

spirit <07307> of the LORD <03068>, and of judgment <04941>, and

of might <01369>, to declare <05046> unto Jacob <03290> his

transgression <06588>, and to Israel <03478> his sin <02403>.

9 Hear <08085> this <02063>, I pray <04994> you, ye heads

<07218> of the house <01004> of Jacob <03290>, and princes

<07101> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, that abhor

<08581> judgment <04941>, and pervert <06140> all <03605> equity

<03477>.

10 They build <01129> up Zion <06726> with blood <01818>, and

Jerusalem <03389> with iniquity <05766>.

11 The heads <07218> thereof judge <08199> for reward <07810>,

and the priests <03548> thereof teach <03384> for hire <04242>,

and the prophets <05030> thereof divine <07080> for money

<03701>: yet will they lean <08172> upon the LORD <03068>, and

say <0559>, [Is] not the LORD <03068> among <07130> us? none

<03808> evil <07451> can come <0935> upon us.

12 Therefore <03651> shall Zion <06726> for your sake <01558>

be plowed <02790> [as] a field <07704>, and Jerusalem <03389>

shall become <01961> heaps <05856>, and the mountain <02022> of

the house <01004> as the high <01116> places of the forest

<03293>.

Micah 4

1. But in the last <0319> days <03117> it shall come <01961> to

pass, [that] the mountain <02022> of the house <01004> of the

LORD <03068> shall be established <03559> in the top <07218> of

the mountains <02022>, and it shall be exalted <05375> above the

hills <01389>; and people <05971> shall flow <05102> unto it.

2 And many <07227> nations <01471> shall come <01980>, and say

<0559>, Come <03212>, and let us go <05927> up to the mountain

<02022> of the LORD <03068>, and to the house <01004> of the God

<0430> of Jacob <03290>; and he will teach <03384> us of his

ways <01870>, and we will walk <03212> in his paths <0734>: for

the law <08451> shall go <03318> forth <03318> of Zion <06726>,

and the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> from Jerusalem <03389>.

3 And he shall judge <08199> among <0996> many <07227> people

<05971>, and rebuke <03198> strong <06099> nations <01471> afar

<07350> off; and they shall beat <03807> their swords <02719>

into plowshares <0855>, and their spears <02595> into

pruninghooks <04211>: nation <01471> shall not lift <05375> up a

sword <02719> against <0413> nation <01471>, neither <03808>

shall they learn <03925> war <04421> any more <05750>.

4 But they shall sit <03427> every man <0376> under <08478> his

vine <01612> and under <08478> his fig <08384> tree; and none

<0369> shall make [them] afraid <02729>: for the mouth <06310>

of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> hath spoken <01696> [it].

5 For all <03605> people <05971> will walk <03212> every <0376>

one <0376> in the name <08034> of his god <0430>, and we will

walk <03212> in the name <08034> of the LORD <03068> our God

<0430> for ever <05769> and ever <05703>.

6 In that day <03117>, saith <05002> the LORD <03068>, will I

assemble <0622> her that halteth <06761>, and I will gather

<06908> her that is driven <05080> out, and her that I have

afflicted <07489>;

7 And I will make <07760> her that halted <06761> a remnant

<07611>, and her that was cast <01972> far off a strong <06099>

nation <01471>: and the LORD <03068> shall reign <04427> over

<05921> them in mount <02022> Zion <06726> from henceforth, even

for ever <05769>.

8. And thou, O tower <04026> of the flock <05739>, the strong

<06076> hold <05076> of the daughter <01323> of Zion <06726>,

unto thee shall it come <0857>, even the first <07223> dominion

<04475>; the kingdom <04467> shall come <0935> to the daughter

<01323> of Jerusalem <03389>.

9 Now <06258> why <04100> dost thou cry <07321> out aloud

<07452>? [is there] no <0369> king <04428> in thee? is thy

counsellor <03289> perished <06>? for pangs <02427> have taken

<02388> thee as a woman in travail <03205>.

10 Be in pain <02342>, and labour <01518> to bring <01518>

forth <01518>, O daughter <01323> of Zion <06726>, like a woman

in travail <03205>: for now <06258> shalt thou go <03318> forth

<03318> out of the city <07151>, and thou shalt dwell <07931> in

the field <07704>, and thou shalt go <0935> [even] to Babylon

<0894>; there shalt thou be delivered <05337>; there <08033> the

LORD <03068> shall redeem <01350> thee from the hand <03709> of

thine enemies <0341>.

11 Now <06258> also many <07227> nations <01471> are gathered

<0622> against <05921> thee, that say <0559>, Let her be defiled

<02610>, and let our eye <05869> look <02372> upon Zion <06726>.

12 But they know <03045> not the thoughts <04284> of the LORD

<03068>, neither <03808> understand <0995> they his counsel

<06098>: for he shall gather <06908> them as the sheaves <05995>

into the floor <01637>.

13 Arise <06965> and thresh <01758>, O daughter <01323> of Zion

<06726>: for I will make <07760> thine horn <07161> iron <01270>,

and I will make <07760> thy hoofs <06541> brass <05154>: and

thou shalt beat <01854> in pieces many <07227> people <05971>:

and I will consecrate <02763> their gain <01214> unto the LORD

<03068>, and their substance <02428> unto the Lord <0113> of the

whole <03605> earth <0776>.

Micah 5

1. Now <06258> gather <01413> thyself in troops <01416>, O

daughter <01323> of troops <01416>: he hath laid <07760> siege

<04692> against <05921> us: they shall smite <05221> the judge

<08199> of Israel <03478> with a rod <07626> upon the cheek

<03895>.

2 But thou, Bethlehem <01035> Ephratah <0672>, [though] thou be

little <06810> among the thousands <0505> of Judah <03063>,

[yet] out of thee shall he come <03318> forth <03318> unto me

[that is] to be ruler <04910> in Israel <03478>; whose goings

<04163> forth <04163> [have been] from of old <06924>, from

everlasting <05769>.

3 Therefore <03651> will he give <05414> them up, until <05704>

the time <06256> [that] she which travaileth <03205> hath

brought <03205> forth <03205>: then the remnant <03199> of his

brethren <0251> shall return <07725> unto the children <01121>

of Israel <03478>.

4 And he shall stand <05975> and feed <07462> in the strength

<05797> of the LORD <03068>, in the majesty <01347> of the name

<08034> of the LORD <03068> his God <0430>; and they shall abide

<03427>: for now <06258> shall he be great <01431> unto the ends

<0657> of the earth <0776>.

5 And this <02088> [man] shall be the peace <07965>, when

<03588> the Assyrian <0804> shall come <0935> into our land

<0776>: and when <03588> he shall tread <01869> in our palaces

<0759>, then shall we raise <06965> against <05921> him seven

<07651> shepherds <07462>, and eight <08083> principal <05257>

men <0120>.

6 And they shall waste <07489> the land <0776> of Assyria

<0804> with the sword <02719>, and the land <0776> of Nimrod

<05248> in the entrances <06607> thereof: thus shall he deliver

<05337> [us] from the Assyrian <0804>, when <03588> he cometh

<0935> into our land <0776>, and when <03588> he treadeth

<01869> within our borders <01366>.

7. And the remnant <07611> of Jacob <03290> shall be in the

midst <07130> of many <07227> people <05971> as a dew <02919>

from the LORD <03068>, as the showers <07241> upon the grass

<06212>, that tarrieth <06960> not for man <0376>, nor <03808>

waiteth <03176> for the sons <01121> of men <0120>.

8 And the remnant <07611> of Jacob <03290> shall be among the

Gentiles <01471> in the midst <07130> of many <07227> people

<05971> as a lion <0738> among the beasts <0929> of the forest

<03293>, as a young <03715> lion <03715> among the flocks

<05739> of sheep <06629>: who <0834>, if <0518> he go <05674>

through <05674>, both treadeth <07429> down, and teareth <02963>

in pieces, and none <0369> can deliver <05337>.

9 Thine hand <03027> shall be lifted <07311> up upon thine

adversaries <06862>, and all thine enemies <0341> shall be cut

<03772> off.

10 And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day <03117>, saith

<05002> the LORD <03068>, that I will cut <03772> off thy horses

<05483> out of the midst <07130> of thee, and I will destroy

<06> thy chariots <04818>:

11 And I will cut <03772> off the cities <05892> of thy land

<0776>, and throw <02040> down <02040> all <03605> thy strong

<04013> holds <04013>:

12 And I will cut <03772> off witchcrafts <03785> out of thine

hand <03027>; and thou shalt have <01961> no <03808> [more]

soothsayers <06049>:

13 Thy graven <06456> images <04676> also will I cut <03772>

off, and thy standing <04676> images out of the midst <07130> of

thee; and thou shalt no <03808> more <05750> worship <07812> the

work <04639> of thine hands <03027>.

14 And I will pluck <05428> up thy groves <0842> out of the

midst <07130> of thee: so will I destroy <08045> thy cities

<05892>.

15 And I will execute <06213> vengeance <05359> in anger <0639>

and fury <02534> upon the heathen <01471>, such as they have not

heard <08085>.

Micah 6

1. Hear <08085> ye now <04994> what <0834> the LORD <03068>

saith <0559>; Arise <06965>, contend <07678> thou before <0854>

the mountains <02022>, and let the hills <01389> hear <08085>

thy voice <06963>.

2 Hear <08085> ye, O mountains <02022>, the LORD'S <03068>

controversy <07379>, and ye strong <0386> foundations <04146> of

the earth <0776>: for the LORD <03068> hath a controversy

<07379> with his people <05971>, and he will plead <03198> with

Israel <03478>.

3 O my people <05971>, what <04100> have I done <06213> unto

thee? and wherein <04100> have I wearied <03811> thee? testify

<06030> against me.

4 For I brought <05927> thee up out of the land <0776> of Egypt

<04714>, and redeemed <06299> thee out of the house <01004> of

servants <05650>; and I sent <07971> before <06440> thee Moses

<04872>, Aaron <0175>, and Miriam <04813>.

5 O my people <05971>, remember <02142> now <04994> what

<04100> Balak <01111> king <04428> of Moab <04124> consulted

<03289>, and what <04100> Balaam <01109> the son <01121> of Beor

<01160> answered <06030> him from Shittim <07851> unto Gilgal

<01537>; that ye may know <03045> the righteousness <06666> of

the LORD <03068>.

6. Wherewith <04100> shall I come <06923> before <06924> the

LORD <03068>, [and] bow <03721> myself before the high <04791>

God <0430>? shall I come <06923> before <06924> him with burnt

<05930> offerings, with calves <05695> of a year <08141> old

<01121>?

7 Will the LORD <03068> be pleased <07521> with thousands

<0505> of rams <0352>, [or] with ten <07233> thousands <07233>

of rivers <05158> of oil <08081>? shall I give <05414> my

firstborn <01060> [for] my transgression <06588>, the fruit

<06529> of my body <0990> [for] the sin <02403> of my soul

<05315>?

8 He hath shewed <05046> thee, O man <0120>, what <04100> [is]

good <02896>; and what <04100> doth the LORD <03068> require

<01875> of thee, but to do <06213> justly <04941>, and to love

<0160> mercy <02617>, and to walk <03212> humbly <06800> with

thy God <0430>?

9. The LORD'S <03068> voice <06963> crieth <07121> unto the

city <05892>, and [the man of] wisdom <08454> shall see <07200>

thy name <08034>: hear <08085> ye the rod <04294>, and who

<04310> hath appointed <03259> it.

10 Are there yet <05750> the treasures <0214> of wickedness

<07562> in the house <01004> of the wicked <07563>, and the

scant <07332> measure <0374> [that is] abominable <02194>?

11 Shall I count [them] pure <02135> with the wicked <07562>

balances <03976>, and with the bag <03599> of deceitful <04820>

weights <068>?

12 For the rich <06223> men thereof are full <04390> of

violence <02555>, and the inhabitants <03427> thereof have

spoken <01696> lies <08267>, and their tongue <03956> [is]

deceitful <07423> in their mouth <06310>.

13 Therefore also <01571> will I make [thee] sick <02470> in

smiting <05221> thee, in making [thee] desolate <08074> because

<05921> of thy sins <02403>.

14 Thou shalt eat <0398>, but not be satisfied <07646>; and thy

casting <03445> down [shall be] in the midst <07130> of thee;

and thou shalt take <05253> hold <05253>, but shalt not deliver

<06403>; and [that] which <0834> thou deliverest <06403> will I

give <05414> up to the sword <02719>.

15 Thou shalt sow <02232>, but thou shalt not reap <07114>;

thou shalt tread <01869> the olives <02132>, but thou shalt not

anoint <05480> thee with oil <08081>; and sweet <08492> wine

<08492>, but shalt not drink <08354> wine <03196>.

16 For the statutes <02708> of Omri <06018> are kept <08104>,

and all <03605> the works <04639> of the house <01004> of Ahab

<0256>, and ye walk <03212> in their counsels <04156>; that I

should make <05414> thee a desolation <08047>, and the

inhabitants <03427> thereof an hissing <08322>: therefore ye

shall bear <05375> the reproach <02781> of my people <05971>.

Micah 7

1. Woe <0480> is me! for I am as when they have gathered <0622>

the summer <07019> fruits, as the grapegleanings <05955> of the

vintage <01210>: [there is] no <0369> cluster <0811> to eat

<0398>: my soul <05315> desired <0183> the firstripe <01063>

fruit.

2 The good <02623> [man] is perished <06> out of the earth

<0776>: and [there is] none <0369> upright <03477> among men

<0120>: they all <03605> lie in wait <0693> for blood <01818>;

they hunt <06679> every man <0376> his brother <0251> with a net

<02764>.

3 That they may do evil <07451> with both hands <03709>

earnestly <03190>, the prince <08269> asketh <07592>, and the

judge <08199> [asketh <07592>] for a reward <07966>; and the

great <01419> [man], he uttereth <01696> his mischievous <01942>

desire <05315>: so they wrap <05686> it up.

4 The best <02896> of them [is] as a brier <02312>: the most

upright <03477> [is sharper] than a thorn <04534> hedge <04534>:

the day <03117> of thy watchmen <06822> [and] thy visitation

<06486> cometh <0935>; now <06258> shall be their perplexity

<03998>.

5 Trust <0539> ye not in a friend <07453>, put ye not

confidence <0982> in a guide <0441>: keep <08104> the doors

<06607> of thy mouth <06310> from her that lieth <07901> in thy

bosom <02436>.

6 For the son <01121> dishonoureth <05034> the father <02>, the

daughter <01323> riseth <06965> up against her mother <0517>,

the daughter <03618> in law <03618> against her mother <02545>

in law <02545>; a man's <0376> enemies <0341> [are] the men

<0582> of his own house <01004>.

7. Therefore I will look <06822> unto the LORD <03068>; I will

wait <03176> for the God <0430> of my salvation <03468>: my God

<0430> will hear <08085> me.

8 Rejoice <08056> not against me, O mine enemy <0341>: when

<03588> I fall <05307>, I shall arise <06965>; when I sit

<03427> in darkness <02822>, the LORD <03068> [shall be] a light

<0216> unto me.

9 I will bear <05375> the indignation <02197> of the LORD

<03068>, because <03588> I have sinned <02398> against him,

until <05704> he plead <07378> my cause <07379>, and execute

<06213> judgment <04941> for me: he will bring <03318> me forth

<03318> to the light <0216>, [and] I shall behold <07200> his

righteousness <06666>.

10 Then [she that is] mine enemy <0341> shall see <07200> [it],

and shame <0955> shall cover <03680> her which said <0559> unto

me, Where <0346> is the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>? mine eyes

<05869> shall behold <07200> her: now <06258> shall she be

trodden <04823> down as the mire <02916> of the streets <02351>.

11 [In] the day <03117> that thy walls <01447> are to be built

<01129>, [in] that day <03117> shall the decree <02706> be far

<07368> removed.

12 [In] that day <03117> [also] he shall come <0935> even to

thee from Assyria <0804>, and [from] the fortified <04692>

cities <05892>, and from the fortress <04693> even to the river

<05104>, and from sea <03220> to sea <03220>, and [from]

mountain <02022> to mountain <02022>.

13 Notwithstanding the land <0776> shall be desolate <08077>

because <05921> of them that dwell <03427> therein, for the

fruit <06529> of their doings <04611>.

14. Feed <07462> thy people <05971> with thy rod <07626>, the

flock <06629> of thine heritage <05159>, which dwell <07931>

solitarily <0910> [in] the wood <03293>, in the midst <08432> of

Carmel <03760>: let them feed <07462> [in] Bashan <01316> and

Gilead <01568>, as in the days <03117> of old <05769>.

15 According to the days <03117> of thy coming <03318> out of

the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> will I shew <07200> unto him

marvellous <06381> [things].

16 The nations <01471> shall see <07200> and be confounded

<0954> at all <03605> their might <01369>: they shall lay

<07760> [their] hand <03027> upon [their] mouth <06310>, their

ears <0241> shall be deaf <02790>.

17 They shall lick <03897> the dust <06083> like a serpent

<05175>, they shall move <07264> out of their holes <04526> like

worms <02119> of the earth <0776>: they shall be afraid <06342>

of the LORD <03068> our God <0430>, and shall fear <03372>

because of thee.

18 Who <04310> [is] a God <0410> like <03644> unto thee, that

pardoneth <05375> iniquity <05771>, and passeth <05674> by the

transgression <06588> of the remnant <07611> of his heritage

<05159>? he retaineth <02388> not his anger <0639> for ever

<05706>, because <03588> he delighteth <02654> [in] mercy

<02617>.

19 He will turn <07725> again <07725>, he will have compassion

<07355> upon us; he will subdue <03533> our iniquities <05771>;

and thou wilt cast <07993> all <03605> their sins <02403> into

the depths <04688> of the sea <03220>.

20 Thou wilt perform <05414> the truth <0571> to Jacob <03290>,

[and] the mercy <02617> to Abraham <085>, which <0834> thou hast

sworn <07650> unto our fathers <01> from the days <03117> of old

<06924>.
