Micah 7:8 in Context — Micah 7

6 Porque el hijo deshonra al padre, la hija se levanta contra la madre, la nuera contra su suegra: y los enemigos del hombre son los de su casa.

7 Yo empero á Jehová esperaré, esperaré al Dios de mi salud: el Dios mío me oirá.

8 Tú, enemiga mía, no te huelgues de mí: porque aunque caí, he de levantarme; aunque more en tinieblas, Jehová será mi luz.

9 La ira de Jehová soportaré, porque pequé contra él, hasta que juzgue mi causa y haga mi juicio; él me sacará á luz; veré su justicia.

10 Y mi enemiga verá, y la cubrirá vergüenza: la que me decía: ¿Dónde está Jehová tu Dios? Mis ojos la verán; ahora será hollada como lodo de las calles.
