Micah

Micah 7:12–16

¹²On that day they will come to you

from Assyria and the cities of Egypt,

even from Egypt to the Euphrates,^d

from sea to sea and mountain to mountain.

¹³Then the earth will become desolate

because of its inhabitants,

as the fruit of their deeds.

¹⁴Shepherd with Your staff Your people,

the flock of Your inheritance.

They live alone in a woodland,

surrounded by pastures.^e

Let them graze in Bashan and Gilead,

as in the days of old.

¹⁵As in the days when you came out of Egypt,

I will show My wonders.

¹⁶Nations will see and be ashamed,

deprived of all their might.

They will put their hands over their mouths,

and their ears will become deaf.
