MICAH
- Keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
- For the son dishonoureth the father,
- The daughter riseth up against her mother,
- The daughter in law against her mother in law;
- A man's enemies are the men of his own house.
- Therefore I will look unto the Lord;
- I will wait for the God of my salvation:
- My God will hear me.
- Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy:
- When I fall, I shall arise;
- When I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me.
- I will bear the indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned against him,
- Until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me:
- He will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.
- Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her
- Which said unto me, Where is the Lord thy God?
- Mine eyes shall behold her:
- Now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
- In the day that thy walls are to be built,
- In that day shall the decree be far removed.
