## đź“ś Scripture Text (NET)
(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
### Micah Laments Judah’s Sin
[[#Verse 01.]]Â Woe is me!
For I am like those gathering fruit
and those harvesting grapes,
when there is no grape cluster to eat
and no fresh figs that my stomach craves.
[[#Verse 02.]] Faithful men have disappeared from the land;
there are no godly men left.
They all wait in ambush to shed blood;
they hunt their own brother with a net.
[[#Verse 03.]]Â They are experts at doing evil;
government officials and judges take bribes,
prominent men announce what they wish,
and then they plan it out.
[[#Verse 04.]]Â The best of them is like a thorn;
their godly are like a thorn bush.
Woe to your watchmen;
your appointed punishment is on the way.
The time of their confusion is now.
[[#Verse 05.]]Â Do not rely on a friend;
do not trust a companion!
Even with the one who lies in your arms,
do not share secrets!
[[#Verse 06.]]Â For a son thinks his father is a fool,
a daughter challenges her mother,
and a daughter-in-law her mother-in-law;
a man’s enemies are his own family.
[[#Verse 07.]] But I will keep watching for the Lord;
I will wait for the God who delivers me.
My God will listen to me.
### Jerusalem Will Be Vindicated
[[#Verse 08.]] My enemies, do not gloat over me!
Though I have fallen, I will get up.
Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light.
[[#Verse 09.]] I must endure the Lord’s fury,
for I have sinned against him.
But then he will defend my cause
and accomplish justice on my behalf.
He will lead me out into the light;
I will witness his deliverance.
[[#Verse 10.]]Â When my enemies see this, they will be covered with shame.
They say to me, “Where is the Lord your God?”
I will gloat over them;
then they will be trampled down
like mud in the streets.
[[#Verse 11.]]Â It will be a day for rebuilding your walls;
in that day your boundary will be extended.
### A Closing Prayer
[[#Verse 12.]] In that day people will come to you
from Assyria as far as Egypt,
from Egypt as far as the Euphrates River,
from the seacoasts and the mountains.
[[#Verse 13.]]Â The earth will become desolate
because of what its inhabitants have done.
[[#Verse 14.]]Â Shepherd your people with your rod,
the flock that belongs to you,
the one that lives alone in a thicket,
in the midst of a pastureland.
Allow them to graze in Bashan and Gilead,
as they did in the old days.
[[#Verse 15.]] “As in the days when you departed from the land of Egypt,
I will show you miraculous deeds.”
[[#Verse 16.]] Nations will see this and be disappointed by all their strength;
they will put their hands over their mouths
and act as if they were deaf.
[[#Verse 17.]]Â They will lick the dust like a snake,
like serpents crawling on the ground.
They will come trembling from their strongholds
to the Lord our God;
they will be terrified of you.
[[#Verse 18.]]Â Who is a God like you?
Who forgives sin
and pardons the rebellion
of those who remain among his people?
Who does not stay angry forever,
but delights in showing loyal love?
[[#Verse 19.]] Who will once again have mercy on us?
Who will conquer our evil deeds?
Who will hurl all our sins into the depths of the sea?
[[#Verse 20.]]Â You will be loyal to Jacob
and extend your loyal love to Abraham,
which you promised on oath to our ancestors in ancient times.
