Micah 7:8

Jerusalem Will Be Vindicated

7:8 My enemies, do not gloat over me!

Though I have fallen, I will get up.

Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light.


tn The singular form is understood as collective.

tn Or “rejoice” (KJV, NAB, NASB, NRSV); NCV “don’t laugh at me.”

sn Darkness represents judgment; light (also in v. 9) symbolizes deliverance. The Lord is the source of the latter.
