Mic 01:01 ¶ The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> that came to Micah <04318> the Morasthite <04183> in the days <03117> of Jotham <03147>, Ahaz <0271>, and Hezekiah <03169>, kings <04428> of Judah <03063>, which he saw <02372> (8804) concerning Samaria <08111> and Jerusalem <03389>. Mic 01:02 Hear <08085> (8798), all ye people <05971>; hearken <07181> (8685), O earth <0776>, and all 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>. Mic 01:03 For, behold, the LORD <03068> cometh forth <03318> (8802) out of his place <04725>, and will come down <03381> (8804), and tread <01869> (8804) upon the high places <01116> of the earth <0776>. Mic 01:04 And the mountains <02022> shall be molten <04549> (8738) under him, and the valleys <06010> shall be cleft <01234> (8691), as wax <01749> before <06440> the fire <0784>, and as the waters <04325> that are poured <05064> (8716) down a steep place <04174>. Mic 01:05 For the transgression <06588> of Jacob <03290> is all this, and for the sins <02403> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478>. What is the transgression <06588> of Jacob <03290>? is it not Samaria <08111>? and what are the high places <01116> of Judah <03063>? are they not Jerusalem <03389>? Mic 01:06 Therefore I will make <07760> (8804) Samaria <08111> as an heap <05856> of the field <07704>, and as plantings <04302> of a vineyard <03754>: and I will pour down <05064> (8689) the stones <068> thereof into the valley <01516>, and I will discover <01540> (8762) the foundations <03247> thereof. Mic 01:07 And all the graven images <06456> thereof shall be beaten to pieces <03807> (8714), and all the hires <0868> thereof shall be burned <08313> (8735) with the fire <0784>, and all the idols <06091> thereof will I lay <07760> (8799) desolate <08077>: for she gathered <06908> (8765) it of the hire <0868> of an harlot <02181> (8802), and they shall return <07725> (8799) to the hire <0868> of an harlot <02181> (8802). Mic 01:08 ¶ Therefore I will wail <05594> (8799) and howl <03213> (8686), I will go <03212> (8799) stripped <07758> (8675) <07758> and naked <06174>: I will make <06213> (8799) a wailing <04553> like the dragons <08577>, and mourning <060> as the owls <01323> <03284>. Mic 01:09 For her wound <04347> is incurable <0605> (8803); for it is come <0935> (8804) unto Judah <03063>; he is come <05060> (8804) unto the gate <08179> of my people <05971>, even to Jerusalem <03389>. Mic 01:10 Declare <05046> (8686) ye it not at Gath <01661>, weep <01058> (8799) ye not at all <01058> (8800): in the house of Aphrah <01036> roll <06428> (8690) (8675) <06428> (8694) thyself in the dust <06083>. Mic 01:11 Pass ye away <05674> (8798), thou inhabitant <03427> (8802) of Saphir <08208>, having thy shame <01322> naked <06181>: the inhabitant <03427> (8802) of Zaanan <06630> came not forth <03318> (8804) in the mourning <04553> of Bethezel <01018>; he shall receive <03947> (8799) of you his standing <05979>. Mic 01:12 For the inhabitant <03427> (8802) of Maroth <04796> waited carefully <02342> (8804) for good <02896>: but evil <07451> came down <03381> (8804) from the LORD <03068> unto the gate <08179> of Jerusalem <03389>. Mic 01:13 O thou inhabitant <03427> (8802) of Lachish <03923>, bind <07573> (8798) the chariot <04818> to the swift 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> (8738) in thee. Mic 01:14 Therefore shalt thou give <05414> (8799) presents <07964> to Moreshethgath <04182>: the houses <01004> of Achzib <0392> shall be a lie <0391> to the kings <04428> of Israel <03478>. Mic 01:15 Yet will I bring <0935> (8686) an heir <03423> (8802) unto thee, O inhabitant <03427> (8802) of Mareshah <04762>: he shall come <0935> (8799) unto Adullam <05725> the glory <03519> of Israel <03478>. Mic 01:16 Make thee bald <07139> (8798), and poll <01494> (8798) thee for thy delicate <08588> children <01121>; enlarge <07337> (8685) thy baldness <07144> as the eagle <05404>; for they are gone into captivity <01540> (8804) from thee. Mic 02:01 ¶ Woe <01945> to them that devise <02803> (8802) iniquity <0205>, and work <06466> (8802) evil <07451> upon their beds <04904>! when the morning <01242> is light <0216>, they practise <06213> (8799) it, because it is <03426> in the power <0410> of their hand <03027>. Mic 02:02 And they covet <02530> (8804) fields <07704>, and take them by violence <01497> (8804); and houses <01004>, and take them away <05375> (8804): so they oppress <06231> (8804) a man <01397> and his house <01004>, even a man <0376> and his heritage <05159>. Mic 02:03 Therefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>; Behold, against this family <04940> do I devise <02803> (8802) an evil <07451>, from which ye shall not remove <04185> (8686) your necks <06677>; neither shall ye go <03212> (8799) haughtily <07317>: for this time <06256> is evil <07451>. Mic 02:04 In that day <03117> shall one take up <05375> (8799) a parable <04912> against you, and lament <05091> (8804) with a doleful <05093> lamentation <05092>, and say <0559> (8804), We be utterly <07703> (8800) spoiled <07703> (8738): he hath changed <04171> (8686) the portion <02506> of my people <05971>: how hath he removed <04185> (8686) it from me! turning away <07725> (8788) he hath divided <02505> (8762) our fields <07704>. Mic 02:05 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast <07993> (8688) a cord <02256> by lot <01486> in the congregation <06951> of the LORD <03068>. Mic 02:06 ¶ Prophesy <05197> (8686) ye not, say they to them that prophesy <05197> (8686): they shall not prophesy <05197> (8686) to them, that they shall not take <05253> (8799) shame <03639>. Mic 02:07 O thou that art named <0559> (8803) the house <01004> of Jacob <03290>, is the spirit <07307> of the LORD <03068> straitened <07114> (8804)? are these his doings <04611>? do not my words <01697> do good <03190> (8686) to him that walketh <01980> (8802) uprightly <03477>? Mic 02:08 Even of late <0865> my people <05971> is risen up <06965> (8787) as an enemy <0341> (8802): ye pull off <06584> (8686) the robe <0145> with <04136> the garment <08008> from them that pass <05674> (8802) by securely <0983> as men averse <07725> (8803) from war <04421>. Mic 02:09 The women <0802> of my people <05971> have ye cast out <01644> (8762) from their pleasant <08588> houses <01004>; from their children <05768> have ye taken away <03947> (8799) my glory <01926> for ever <05769>. Mic 02:10 Arise <06965> (8798) ye, and depart <03212> (8798); for this is not your rest <04496>: because it is polluted <02930> (8800), it shall destroy <02254> (8762) you, even with a sore <04834> (8737) destruction <02256>. Mic 02:11 If <03863> a man <0376> walking <01980> (8802) in the spirit <07307> and falsehood <08267> do lie <03576> (8765), saying, I will prophesy <05197> (8686) unto thee of wine <03196> and of strong drink <07941>; he shall even be the prophet <05197> (8688) of this people <05971>. Mic 02:12 ¶ I will surely <0622> (8800) assemble <0622> (8799), O Jacob <03290>, all of thee; I will surely <06908> (8763) gather <06908> (8762) the remnant <07611> of Israel <03478>; I will put <07760> (8799) them together <03162> as the sheep <06629> of Bozrah <01223> (8677) <01224>, as the flock <05739> in the midst <08432> of their fold <01699>: they shall make great noise <01949> (8686) by reason of the multitude of men <0120>. Mic 02:13 The breaker <06555> (8802) is come up <05927> (8804) before <06440> them: they have broken up <06555> (8804), and have passed through <05674> (8799) the gate <08179>, and are gone out <03318> (8799) by it: and their king <04428> shall pass <05674> (8799) before <06440> them, and the LORD <03068> on the head <07218> of them. Mic 03:01 ¶ And I said <0559> (8799), Hear <08085> (8798), I pray 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> (8800) judgment <04941>? Mic 03:02 Who hate <08130> (8802) the good <02896>, and love <0157> (8802) the evil <07451>; who pluck off <01497> (8802) their skin <05785> from off them, and their flesh <07607> from off their bones <06106>; Mic 03:03 Who also eat <0398> (8804) the flesh <07607> of my people <05971>, and flay <06584> (8689) their skin <05785> from off them; and they break <06476> (8765) their bones <06106>, and chop them in pieces <06566> (8804), as for the pot <05518>, and as flesh <01320> within <08432> the caldron <07037>. Mic 03:04 Then shall they cry <02199> (8799) unto the LORD <03068>, but he will not hear <06030> (8799) them: he will even hide <05641> (8686) his face <06440> from them at that time <06256>, as they have behaved themselves ill <07489> (8689) in their doings <04611>. Mic 03:05 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> concerning the prophets <05030> that make my people <05971> err <08582> (8688), that bite <05391> (8802) with their teeth <08127>, and cry <07121> (8804), Peace <07965>; and he that putteth <05414> (8799) not into their mouths <06310>, they even prepare <06942> (8765) war <04421> against him. Mic 03:06 Therefore night <03915> shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision <02377>; and it shall be dark <02821> (8675) <02821> (8804) unto you, that ye shall not divine <07080> (8800); and the sun <08121> shall go down <0935> (8804) over the prophets <05030>, and the day <03117> shall be dark <06937> (8804) over them. Mic 03:07 Then shall the seers <02374> be ashamed <0954> (8804), and the diviners <07080> (8802) confounded <02659> (8804): yea, they shall all cover <05844> (8804) their lips <08222>; for there is no answer <04617> of God <0430>. Mic 03:08 ¶ But truly <0199> I am full <04390> (8804) of power <03581> by the spirit <07307> of the LORD <03068>, and of judgment <04941>, and of might <01369>, to declare <05046> (8687) unto Jacob <03290> his transgression <06588>, and to Israel <03478> his sin <02403>. Mic 03:09 Hear <08085> (8798) this, I pray you, ye heads <07218> of the house <01004> of Jacob <03290>, and princes <07101> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, that abhor <08581> (8764) judgment <04941>, and pervert <06140> (8762) all equity <03477>. Mic 03:10 They build up <01129> (8802) Zion <06726> with blood <01818>, and Jerusalem <03389> with iniquity <05766>. Mic 03:11 The heads <07218> thereof judge <08199> (8799) for reward <07810>, and the priests <03548> thereof teach <03384> (8686) for hire <04242>, and the prophets <05030> thereof divine <07080> (8799) for money <03701>: yet will they lean <08172> (8735) upon the LORD <03068>, and say <0559> (8800), Is not the LORD <03068> among <07130> us? none evil <07451> can come <0935> (8799) upon us. Mic 03:12 Therefore shall Zion <06726> for your sake <01558> be plowed <02790> (8735) as a field <07704>, and Jerusalem <03389> shall become heaps <05856>, and the mountain <02022> of the house <01004> as the high places <01116> of the forest <03293>. Mic 04:01 ¶ But in the last <0319> days <03117> it shall come to pass, that the mountain <02022> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> shall be established <03559> (8737) in the top <07218> of the mountains <02022>, and it shall be exalted <05375> (8737) above the hills <01389>; and people <05971> shall flow <05102> (8804) unto it. Mic 04:02 And many <07227> nations <01471> shall come <01980> (8804), and say <0559> (8804), Come <03212> (8798), and let us go up <05927> (8799) 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> (8686) us of his ways <01870>, and we will walk <03212> (8799) in his paths <0734>: for the law <08451> shall go forth <03318> (8799) of Zion <06726>, and the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> from Jerusalem <03389>. Mic 04:03 And he shall judge <08199> (8804) among many <07227> people <05971>, and rebuke <03198> (8689) strong <06099> nations <01471> afar off <07350>; and they shall beat <03807> (8765) their swords <02719> into plowshares <0855>, and their spears <02595> into pruninghooks <04211>: nation <01471> shall not lift up <05375> (8799) a sword <02719> against nation <01471>, neither shall they learn <03925> (8799) war <04421> any more. Mic 04:04 But they shall sit <03427> (8804) every man <0376> under his vine <01612> and under his fig tree <08384>; and none shall make them afraid <02729> (8688): for the mouth <06310> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> hath spoken <01696> (8765) it. Mic 04:05 For all people <05971> will walk <03212> (8799) every one <0376> in the name <08034> of his god <0430>, and we will walk <03212> (8799) in the name <08034> of the LORD <03068> our God <0430> for ever <05769> and ever <05703>. Mic 04:06 In that day <03117>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, will I assemble <0622> (8799) her that halteth <06760> (8802), and I will gather <06908> (8762) her that is driven out <05080> (8737), and her that I have afflicted <07489> (8689); Mic 04:07 And I will make <07760> (8804) her that halted <06760> (8802) a remnant <07611>, and her that was cast far off <01972> (8737) a strong <06099> nation <01471>: and the LORD <03068> shall reign <04427> (8804) over them in mount <02022> Zion <06726> from henceforth, even for <05704> ever <05769>. Mic 04:08 ¶ And thou, O tower <04026> of the flock <05739> (8677) <04029>, the strong hold <06076> of the daughter <01323> of Zion <06726>, unto thee shall it come <0857> (8799), even the first <07223> dominion <04475>; the kingdom <04467> shall come <0935> (8804) to the daughter <01323> of Jerusalem <03389>. Mic 04:09 Now why dost thou cry <07321> (8686) out aloud <07452>? is there no king <04428> in thee? is thy counsellor <03289> (8802) perished <06> (8804)? for pangs <02427> have taken <02388> (8689) thee as a woman in travail <03205> (8802). Mic 04:10 Be in pain <02342> (8798), and labour to bring forth <01518> (8798), O daughter <01323> of Zion <06726>, like a woman in travail <03205> (8802): for now shalt thou go forth <03318> (8799) out of the city <07151>, and thou shalt dwell <07931> (8804) in the field <07704>, and thou shalt go <0935> (8804) even to Babylon <0894>; there shalt thou be delivered <05337> (8735); there the LORD <03068> shall redeem <01350> (8799) thee from the hand <03709> of thine enemies <0341> (8802). Mic 04:11 Now also many <07227> nations <01471> are gathered <0622> (8738) against thee, that say <0559> (8802), Let her be defiled <02610> (8799), and let our eye <05869> look <02372> (8799) upon Zion <06726>. Mic 04:12 But they know <03045> (8804) not the thoughts <04284> of the LORD <03068>, neither understand <0995> (8689) they his counsel <06098>: for he shall gather <06908> (8765) them as the sheaves <05995> into the floor <01637>. Mic 04:13 Arise <06965> (8798) and thresh <01758> (8798), O daughter <01323> of Zion <06726>: for I will make <07760> (8799) thine horn <07161> iron <01270>, and I will make <07760> (8799) thy hoofs <06541> brass <05154>: and thou shalt beat in pieces <01854> (8689) many <07227> people <05971>: and I will consecrate <02763> (8689) their gain <01215> unto the LORD <03068>, and their substance <02428> unto the Lord <0113> of the whole earth <0776>. Mic 05:01 ¶ Now gather <01413> (8704) thyself in troops <01416>, O daughter <01323> of troops <01416>: he hath laid <07760> (8804) siege <04692> against us: they shall smite <05221> (8686) the judge <08199> (8802) of Israel <03478> with a rod <07626> upon the cheek <03895>. Mic 05:02 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 forth <03318> (8799) unto me that is to be ruler <04910> (8802) in Israel <03478>; whose goings forth <04163> have been from of old <06924>, from everlasting <03117> <05769>. Mic 05:03 Therefore will he give them up <05414> (8799), until the time <06256> that she which travaileth <03205> (8802) hath brought forth <03205> (8804): then the remnant <03499> of his brethren <0251> shall return <07725> (8799) unto the children <01121> of Israel <03478>. Mic 05:04 And he shall stand <05975> (8804) and feed <07462> (8804) 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> (8804): for now shall he be great <01431> (8799) unto the ends <0657> of the earth <0776>. Mic 05:05 And this man shall be the peace <07965>, when the Assyrian <0804> shall come <0935> (8799) into our land <0776>: and when he shall tread <01869> (8799) in our palaces <0759>, then shall we raise <06965> (8689) against him seven <07651> shepherds <07462> (8802), and eight <08083> principal <05257> men <0120>. Mic 05:06 And they shall waste <07462> (8804) 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> (8689) us from the Assyrian <0804>, when he cometh <0935> (8799) into our land <0776>, and when he treadeth <01869> (8799) within our borders <01366>. Mic 05:07 ¶ 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> (8762) not for man <0376>, nor waiteth <03176> (8762) for the sons <01121> of men <0120>. Mic 05:08 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 lion <03715> among the flocks <05739> of sheep <06629>: who, if he go through <05674> (8804), both treadeth down <07429> (8804), and teareth in pieces <02963> (8804), and none can deliver <05337> (8688). Mic 05:09 Thine hand <03027> shall be lifted up <07311> (8799) upon thine adversaries <06862>, and all thine enemies <0341> (8802) shall be cut off <03772> (8735). Mic 05:10 And it shall come to pass in that day <03117>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, that I will cut off <03772> (8689) thy horses <05483> out of the midst <07130> of thee, and I will destroy <06> (8689) thy chariots <04818>: Mic 05:11 And I will cut off <03772> (8689) the cities <06145> (8676) <05892> of thy land <0776>, and throw down <02040> (8804) all thy strong holds <04013>: Mic 05:12 And I will cut off <03772> (8689) witchcrafts <03785> out of thine hand <03027>; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers <06049> (8781): Mic 05:13 Thy graven images <06456> also will I cut off <03772> (8689), and thy standing images <04676> out of the midst <07130> of thee; and thou shalt no more worship <07812> (8691) the work <04639> of thine hands <03027>. Mic 05:14 And I will pluck up <05428> (8804) thy groves <0842> out of the midst <07130> of thee: so will I destroy <08045> (8689) thy cities <06145> (8676) <05892>. Mic 05:15 And I will execute <06213> (8804) vengeance <05359> in anger <0639> and fury <02534> upon the heathen <01471>, such as they have not heard <08085> (8804). Mic 06:01 ¶ Hear <08085> (8798) ye now what the LORD <03068> saith <0559> (8802); Arise <06965> (8798), contend <07378> (8798) thou before the mountains <02022>, and let the hills <01389> hear <08085> (8799) thy voice <06963>. Mic 06:02 Hear <08085> (8798) 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> (8691) with Israel <03478>. Mic 06:03 O my people <05971>, what have I done <06213> (8804) unto thee? and wherein have I wearied <03811> (8689) thee? testify <06030> (8798) against me. Mic 06:04 For I brought thee up <05927> (8689) out of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, and redeemed <06299> (8804) thee out of the house <01004> of servants <05650>; and I sent <07971> (8799) before <06440> thee Moses <04872>, Aaron <0175>, and Miriam <04813>. Mic 06:05 O my people <05971>, remember <02142> (8798) now what Balak <01111> king <04428> of Moab <04124> consulted <03289> (8804), and what Balaam <01109> the son <01121> of Beor <01160> answered <06030> (8804) him from Shittim <07851> unto Gilgal <01537>; that ye may know <03045> (8800) the righteousness <06666> of the LORD <03068>. Mic 06:06 ¶ Wherewith shall I come before <06923> (8762) the LORD <03068>, and bow <03721> (8735) myself before the high <04791> God <0430>? shall I come before <06923> (8762) him with burnt offerings <05930>, with calves <05695> of a year <08141> old <01121>? Mic 06:07 Will the LORD <03068> be pleased <07521> (8799) with thousands <0505> of rams <0352>, or with ten thousands <07233> of rivers <05158> of oil <08081>? shall I give <05414> (8799) my firstborn <01060> for my transgression <06588>, the fruit <06529> of my body <0990> for the sin <02403> of my soul <05315>? Mic 06:08 He hath shewed <05046> (8689) thee, O man <0120>, what is good <02896>; and what doth the LORD <03068> require <01875> (8802) of thee, but to do <06213> (8800) justly <04941>, and to love <0160> mercy <02617>, and to walk <03212> (8800) humbly <06800> (8687) with thy God <0430>? Mic 06:09 ¶ The LORD’S <03068> voice <06963> crieth <07121> (8799) unto the city <05892>, and the man of wisdom <08454> shall see <07200> (8799) thy name <08034>: hear <08085> (8798) ye the rod <04294>, and who hath appointed <03259> (8804) it. Mic 06:10 Are there <0786> yet the treasures <0214> of wickedness <07562> (8676) <0376> in the house <01004> of the wicked <07563>, and the scant <07332> measure <0374> that is abominable <02194> (8803)? Mic 06:11 Shall I count them pure <02135> (8799) with the wicked <07562> balances <03976>, and with the bag <03599> of deceitful <04820> weights <068>? Mic 06:12 For the rich men <06223> thereof are full <04390> (8804) of violence <02555>, and the inhabitants <03427> (8802) thereof have spoken <01696> (8765) lies <08267>, and their tongue <03956> is deceitful <07423> in their mouth <06310>. Mic 06:13 Therefore also will I make thee sick <02470> (8689) in smiting <05221> (8687) thee, in making thee desolate <08074> (8687) because of thy sins <02403>. Mic 06:14 Thou shalt eat <0398> (8799), but not be satisfied <07646> (8799); and thy casting down <03445> shall be in the midst <07130> of thee; and thou shalt take hold <05253> (8686), but shalt not deliver <06403> (8686); and that which thou deliverest <06403> (8762) will I give up <05414> (8799) to the sword <02719>. Mic 06:15 Thou shalt sow <02232> (8799), but thou shalt not reap <07114> (8799); thou shalt tread <01869> (8799) the olives <02132>, but thou shalt not anoint <05480> (8799) thee with oil <08081>; and sweet wine <08492>, but shalt not drink <08354> (8799) wine <03196>. Mic 06:16 For the statutes <02708> of Omri <06018> are kept <08104> (8691), and all the works <04639> of the house <01004> of Ahab <0256>, and ye walk <03212> (8799) in their counsels <04156>; that I should make <05414> (8800) thee a desolation <08047>, and the inhabitants <03427> (8802) thereof an hissing <08322>: therefore ye shall bear <05375> (8799) the reproach <02781> of my people <05971>. Mic 07:01 ¶ Woe <0480> is me! for I am as when they have gathered <0625> the summer fruits <07019>, as the grapegleanings <05955> of the vintage <01210>: there is no cluster <0811> to eat <0398> (8800): my soul <05315> desired <0183> (8765) the firstripe fruit <01063>. Mic 07:02 The good <02623> man is perished <06> (8804) out of the earth <0776>: and there is none upright <03477> among men <0120>: they all lie in wait <0693> (8799) for blood <01818>; they hunt <06679> (8799) every man <0376> his brother <0251> with a net <02764>. Mic 07:03 That they may do evil <07451> with both hands <03709> earnestly <03190> (8687), the prince <08269> asketh <07592> (8802), and the judge <08199> (8802) asketh for a reward <07966>; and the great <01419> man, he uttereth <01696> (8802) his mischievous <01942> desire <05315>: so they wrap it up <05686> (8762). Mic 07:04 The best <02896> of them is as a brier <02312>: the most upright <03477> is sharper than a thorn hedge <04534>: the day <03117> of thy watchmen <06822> (8764) and thy visitation <06486> cometh <0935> (8804); now shall be their perplexity <03998>. Mic 07:05 Trust <0539> (8686) ye not in a friend <07453>, put ye not confidence <0982> (8799) in a guide <0441>: keep <08104> (8798) the doors <06607> of thy mouth <06310> from her that lieth <07901> (8802) in thy bosom <02436>. Mic 07:06 For the son <01121> dishonoureth <05034> (8764) the father <01>, the daughter <01323> riseth up <06965> (8801) against her mother <0517>, the daughter in law <03618> against her mother in law <02545>; a man’s <0376> enemies <0341> (8802) are the men <0582> of his own house <01004>. Mic 07:07 ¶ Therefore I will look <06822> (8762) unto the LORD <03068>; I will wait <03176> (8686) for the God <0430> of my salvation <03468>: my God <0430> will hear <08085> (8799) me. Mic 07:08 Rejoice <08055> (8799) not against me, O mine enemy <0341> (8802): when I fall <05307> (8804), I shall arise <06965> (8804); when I sit <03427> (8799) in darkness <02822>, the LORD <03068> shall be a light <0216> unto me. Mic 07:09 I will bear <05375> (8799) the indignation <02197> of the LORD <03068>, because I have sinned <02398> (8804) against him, until he plead <07378> (8799) my cause <07379>, and execute <06213> (8804) judgment <04941> for me: he will bring me forth <03318> (8686) to the light <0216>, and I shall behold <07200> (8799) his righteousness <06666>. Mic 07:10 Then she that is mine enemy <0341> (8802) shall see <07200> (8799) it, and shame <0955> shall cover <03680> (8762) her which said <0559> (8802) unto me, Where is the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>? mine eyes <05869> shall behold <07200> (8799) her: now shall she be trodden down <04823> as the mire <02916> of the streets <02351>. Mic 07:11 In the day <03117> that thy walls <01447> are to be built <01129> (8800), in that day <03117> shall the decree <02706> be far removed <07368> (8799). Mic 07:12 In that day <03117> also he shall come <0935> (8799) even to thee from Assyria <0804>, and from the fortified <04693> 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>. Mic 07:13 Notwithstanding the land <0776> shall be desolate <08077> because of them that dwell <03427> (8802) therein, for the fruit <06529> of their doings <04611>. Mic 07:14 ¶ Feed <07462> (8798) thy people <05971> with thy rod <07626>, the flock <06629> of thine heritage <05159>, which dwell <07931> (8802) solitarily <0910> in the wood <03293>, in the midst <08432> of Carmel <03760>: let them feed <07462> (8799) in Bashan <01316> and Gilead <01568>, as in the days <03117> of old <05769>. Mic 07:15 According to the days <03117> of thy coming <03318> (8800) out of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> will I shew <07200> (8686) unto him marvellous <06381> (8737) things. Mic 07:16 The nations <01471> shall see <07200> (8799) and be confounded <0954> (8799) at all their might <01369>: they shall lay <07760> (8799) their hand <03027> upon their mouth <06310>, their ears <0241> shall be deaf <02790> (8799). Mic 07:17 They shall lick <03897> (8762) the dust <06083> like a serpent <05175>, they shall move <07264> (8799) out of their holes <04526> like worms <02119> (8801) of the earth <0776>: they shall be afraid <06342> (8799) of the LORD <03068> our God <0430>, and shall fear <03372> (8799) because of thee. Mic 07:18 Who is a God <0410> like unto thee, that pardoneth <05375> (8802) iniquity <05771>, and passeth by <05674> (8802) the transgression <06588> of the remnant <07611> of his heritage <05159>? he retaineth <02388> (8689) not his anger <0639> for ever <05703>, because he delighteth <02654> (8804) in mercy <02617>. Mic 07:19 He will turn again <07725> (8799), he will have compassion <07355> (8762) upon us; he will subdue <03533> (8799) our iniquities <05771>; and thou wilt cast <07993> (8686) all their sins <02403> into the depths <04688> of the sea <03220>. Mic 07:20 Thou wilt perform <05414> (8799) the truth <0571> to Jacob <03290>, and the mercy <02617> to Abraham <085>, which thou hast sworn <07650> (8738) unto our fathers <01> from the days <03117> of old <06924>. ~~~~~~
