Micah 7

Gen Z: Micah 7

1Man, I'm feeling down, like when summer fruits are all gone and there's no good stuff left. My soul is craving that first fruit, no cap.

2The good peeps are MIA; no one’s keeping it real. They’re all out here hunting each other like it’s a game.

3They’re out here doing shady stuff, both hands in it, the prince and judge just want that cash, and the big shots are plotting. It’s a whole mess.

4The best of them is like a thorn; even the chill ones are sus. The day’s coming when things get wild, fr.

5Don’t trust your homies too much; keep your mouth shut around those close to you.

6Family drama is real; sons disrespect dads, daughters against moms. Your enemies might just be in your own crib.

7So I’m looking to the Lord; I’m waiting for my savior. My God’s got my back, periodt.

8Don’t celebrate my falls, enemy; I’ll bounce back. When I’m in the dark, the Lord’s my light, for real.

9I’ll own my mistakes before the Lord until He steps in for me. He’ll bring me to the light, and I’ll see His goodness.

10My enemy will see what’s up, and shame's gonna hit her for asking where my God is. She’s about to be stomped like dirt.

11When it’s time to build those walls, everything’s gonna change, for sure.

12He’ll come through from Assyria and other strong places, all the way to the river, and from sea to sea, mountain to mountain.

13But the land’s gonna be empty because of the people living there and their bad vibes.

14Take care of your crew with your rod, those who chill in the woods; let them vibe in Bashan and Gilead like the good old days.

15I’m gonna show him some epic things, just like when you left Egypt.

16The nations will see and be shook by all their power; they’ll just be silent, ears closed.

17They’ll eat dirt like snakes, crawling out like worms; they’ll fear the Lord, no cap.

18Who’s a God like You, forgiving and chill, not holding grudges forever? You’re all about that mercy.

19He’s coming back, showing compassion; He’ll handle our mess and toss our sins into the sea.

20You’ll keep it real with Jacob and show mercy to Abraham, just like you promised our ancestors way back.

KJV: Micah 7

1Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grapegleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the firstripe fruit.

2The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.

3That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.

4The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity.

5Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.

6For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.

7Therefore I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.

8Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me.

9I will bear the indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.

10Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is the Lord thy God? mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.

11In the day that thy walls are to be built, in that day shall the decree be far removed.

12In that day also he shall come even to thee from Assyria, and from the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.

13Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.

14Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage, which dwell solitarily in the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.

15According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous things.

16The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf.

17They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the Lord our God, and shall fear because of thee.

18Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.

19He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

20Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.
