Micah 7:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Micah 7:7

5 ^aDo not trust in a friend;
Do not put your confidence in a companion;
Guard the doors of your mouth
From her who lies in your ^bbosom.

6 For ^ason dishonors father,
Daughter rises against her mother,
Daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
A man’s enemies are the men of his own household.

7 Therefore I will look to the Lord;
I will ^await for the God of my salvation;
My God will hear me.

Israel’s Confession and Comfort

8 ^aDo not rejoice over me, my enemy;
^bWhen I fall, I will arise;
When I sit in darkness,
The Lord will be a light to me.

9 ^aI will bear the indignation of the Lord,
Because I have sinned against Him,
Until He pleads my ^bcase
And executes justice for me.
He will bring me forth to the light;
I will see His righteousness.

10 Then she who is my enemy will see,
And ^ashame will cover her who said to me,
^b“Where is the Lord your God?”
My eyes will see her;
Now she will be trampled down
Like mud in the streets.

11 In the day when your ^awalls are to be built,
In that day¹ the decree shall go far and wide.
