Discovery BoxMicah 7:9-10 
Context7:9 I must endure 1 the Lord’s anger,
for I have sinned against him.
But then 2 he will defend my cause, 3
and accomplish justice on my behalf.
He will lead me out into the light;
I will experience firsthand 4 his deliverance. 5
7:10 When my enemies see this, they will be covered with shame.
They say 6 to me, “Where is the Lord your God?”
I will gloat over them. 7
Then they will be trampled down 8
like mud in the streets.
