Sons think that their fathers are fools.
And daughters refuse to obey their mothers.
Wives quarrel with their husbands' mothers.
A man's enemies are the people who live in his own house now.
But as for me, I will watch for what the Lord will do.
I will wait for God, who saves me.
I know that he hears me.

Israel's enemies will be ashamed

My enemy, do not be happy because I am in trouble.[a]
I have fallen down, but I will get up.
I am in the dark, but the Lord will be a light to me.

Footnotes

  1. 7:8 Verses 8-10 Here Micah speaks on behalf of Zion's people, as if they were one person.

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)
