Micah 7 Summary

Micah laments that the good have perished from the earth; all men lie in wait for blood and hunt one another with nets, their hands earnestly set to evil. Princes, judges, and great men seek rewards and utter mischievous desires; trust in friend or guide is impossible, and families are divided against themselves—son against father, daughter against mother. Yet Micah will look unto the LORD and wait for God his salvation; when he falls, he shall arise, and in darkness the LORD shall be his light. He will bear the LORD's indignation for his sins until God pleads his cause and executes judgment, bringing him to the light where he shall behold God's righteousness. His enemies shall see it and be ashamed; the land shall be rebuilt from Assyria to the fortified cities. The LORD will feed his people with his rod as he did in the days of old, working marvellous things; the nations shall fear him, and he shall have compassion, subduing iniquities and casting all sins into the depths of the sea.
