Listen to Mica 7:8-10
8 Freue dich nicht ĂĽber mich, meine Feindin! Denn bin ich gefallen, so stehe ich wieder auf; denn sitze ich in Finsternis, so ist Jehova mein Licht.
9 Den Grimm Jehovas will ich tragen, denn ich habe gegen ihn gesĂĽndigt, bis er meinen Rechtsstreit fĂĽhren und mir Recht verschaffen wird. Er wird mich herausfĂĽhren an das Licht, ich werde seine Gerechtigkeit anschauen.
10 Und meine Feindin soll es sehen, und Scham soll sie bedecken, die zu mir sprach: Wo ist Jehova, dein Gott? Meine Augen werden ihre Lust an ihr sehen: nun wird sie zertreten werden wie StraĂźenkot.

Mica 7:8-10 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO MICAH 7

This chapter begins with a lamentation of the prophet, in the name of the church and people of God, concerning the general depravity and corruption of the times in which he lived, Mic 7:1-6; then declares what he was determined to do for his relief in such circumstances, Mic 7:7; comforts himself and the church with a good hope and firm belief of its being otherwise and better with them, to the shame and confusion of their enemies that now rejoiced, though without just reason for it, Mic 7:8-10; with promises of deliverance, after a desolation of the land for some time, Mic 7:11-13; and with the answer returned to the prayers of the prophet, Mic 7:14,15; which would issue in the astonishment of the world, and their subjection to the church of God, Mic 7:16,17; and the chapter is concluded with admiration at the pardoning grace and mercy of God, and his faithfulness to his promises, Mic 7:18-20.
