Miqueas 7:8-10

8 ¡Enemigos míos, no se regodeen de mí!
Pues aunque caiga, me levantaré otra vez.
Aunque esté en oscuridad,
el Señor
será mi luz.

9 Seré paciente cuando el Señor
me castigue,
porque he pecado contra él.
Pero después, él tomará mi caso
y me hará justicia por todo lo que he sufrido a manos de mis enemigos.
El Señor
me llevará a la luz
y veré su justicia.

10 Entonces mis enemigos verán que el Señor
está de mi lado.
Serán avergonzados los que se mofaban de mí diciendo:
«Entonces, ¿dónde está el Señor
,
ese Dios tuyo?».
Con mis propios ojos veré su ruina;
como lodo en las calles serán pisoteados.

Miqueas 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.
