Mic 7:8 | NETfull | STEP | 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.

Micah 7:8

Jerusalem Will Be Vindicated

8 My enemies, ^{▼▼ The singular form is understood as collective.} do not gloat ^{▼▼ Or “rejoice” (KJV, NAB, NASB, NRSV); NCV “don’t laugh at me.”} over me!
Though I have fallen, I will get up.
Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light. ^{▼▼ Darkness represents judgment; light (also in v. 9) symbolizes deliverance. The Lord is the source of the latter.}
