Son disrespects father;
        a daughter rises up against her mother,
        a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
        the enemies of a man are those of his own household.
But me! I will keep watch for the Lord;
        I will wait for the God of my salvation;
            my God will hear me.

Zion speaks

Do not rejoice[a] over me, my enemy,
        because when I fall, I will rise;
            if I sit in darkness, the Lord is my light.

Footnotes

  1. Micah 7:8 Rejoice (feminine singular)

For a son dishonors his father,
    a daughter rises up against her mother,(A)
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
    a man’s enemies are the members of his own household.(B)

But as for me, I watch(C) in hope(D) for the Lord,
    I wait for God my Savior;
    my God will hear(E) me.

Israel Will Rise

Do not gloat over me,(F) my enemy!
    Though I have fallen, I will rise.(G)
Though I sit in darkness,
    the Lord will be my light.(H)
