Berean Standard Bible

“Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will arise; though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light.”

Micah 7:8

Save as image

Study note

Micah 7 begins with the prophet lamenting how corrupt his society has become, then turns to personal hope. He speaks as one who has fallen and is under discipline, and as a voice for the whole people, facing an enemy who gloats over their downfall.
