Micah

Chapter 7
1
Phonetic (Hebrew): a֣lelay li֗y kּi֤y hayi֨ytiy֙ kּe'asepּey-qa֔yitz kּe'olelo֖t bּatzi֑yr 'eyn-'eshshekּ֣ol le'ek֔ol bּikּura֖h 'iueta֥h napeshshiֽy׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Woe 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.

אַ֣לְלַי לִ֗י כִּ֤י הָיִ֨יתִי֙ כְּאָסְפֵּי־קַ֔יִץ כְּעֹלְלֹ֖ת בָּצִ֑יר אֵין־אֶשְׁכּ֣וֹל לֶאֱכ֔וֹל בִּכּוּרָ֖ה אִוְּתָ֥ה נַפְשִֽׁי׃

2
Phonetic (Hebrew): aba֤d chasiyd֙ min-ha'a֔retz veyashsha֥r bּa'ada֖m 'a֑yin kּulּam֙ ledami֣ym ye'ero֔bu 'i֥yshsh 'et-'achi֖yhu yatz֥udu cheֽrem׃
Edified Edition (EDE)The 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.

אָבַ֤ד חָסִיד֙ מִן־הָאָ֔רֶץ וְיָשָׁ֥ר בָּאָדָ֖ם אָ֑יִן כֻּלָּם֙ לְדָמִ֣ים יֶאֱרֹ֔בוּ אִ֥ישׁ אֶת־אָחִ֖יהוּ יָצ֥וּדוּ חֵֽרֶם׃

3
Phonetic (Hebrew): al-hara֤ kּapּa֨yim֙ leheyti֔yb hashsּa֣r shsho'e֔l vehashshּope֖t bּashshilּ֑um vehagּad֗ol dּobe֨r haua֥t napeshsh֛o h֖u vaֽye'abּetֽuha׃
Edified Edition (EDE)That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asks, and the judge asks for a reward; and the great man, he utters his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.

עַל־הָרַ֤ע כַּפַּ֨יִם֙ לְהֵיטִ֔יב הַשַּׂ֣ר שֹׁאֵ֔ל וְהַשֹּׁפֵ֖ט בַּשִׁלּ֑וּם וְהַגָּד֗וֹל דֹּבֵ֨ר הַוַּ֥ת נַפְשׁ֛וֹ ה֖וּא וַֽיְעַבְּתֽוּהָ׃

4
Phonetic (Hebrew): toba֣m kּeche֔deq yashsha֖r mimּesuka֑h y֤om metzapּe֨yka֙ pּequdּateka֣ ba֔'ah 'atּa֥h tiheye֖h mebukataֽm׃
Edified Edition (EDE)The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of your watchmen and your visitation comes; now shall be their perplexity.

טוֹבָ֣ם כְּחֵ֔דֶק יָשָׁ֖ר מִמְּסוּכָ֑ה י֤וֹם מְצַפֶּ֨יךָ֙ פְּקֻדָּתְךָ֣ בָ֔אָה עַתָּ֥ה תִהְיֶ֖ה מְבוּכָתָֽם׃

5
Phonetic (Hebrew): al-tּa'ami֣ynu bere֔'a 'aֽl-tּibetech֖u bּe'alּ֑up mishshּoke֣bet cheyqe֔ka shshemo֖r pּitechey-piֽyka׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Trust you not in a friend, put you not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of your mouth from her that lies in your bosom.

אַל־תַּאֲמִ֣ינוּ בְרֵ֔עַ אַֽל־תִּבְטְח֖וּ בְּאַלּ֑וּף מִשֹּׁכֶ֣בֶת חֵיקֶ֔ךָ שְׁמֹ֖ר פִּתְחֵי־פִֽיךָ׃

6
Phonetic (Hebrew): kּiֽy-ben֙ menabּe֣l 'a֔b bּa֚t qama֣h be'imּa֔hּ kּalּa֖h bּachamota֑hּ 'oyebe֥y 'i֖yshsh 'aneshshe֥y beytֽo׃
Edified Edition (EDE)For the son dishonours the father, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.

כִּֽי־בֵן֙ מְנַבֵּ֣ל אָ֔ב בַּ֚ת קָמָ֣ה בְאִמָּ֔הּ כַּלָּ֖ה בַּחֲמֹתָ֑הּ אֹיְבֵ֥י אִ֖ישׁ אַנְשֵׁ֥י בֵיתֽוֹ׃

7
Phonetic (Hebrew): va'aniy֙ bּayhva֣h 'atzapּe֔h 'ochi֖ylah le'lohe֣y yishshe'i֑y yishshema'e֖niy 'elohaֽy׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Therefore I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.

וַאֲנִי֙ בַּיהוָ֣ה אֲצַפֶּ֔ה אוֹחִ֖ילָה לֵאלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׁעִ֑י יִשְׁמָעֵ֖נִי אֱלֹהָֽי׃

8
Phonetic (Hebrew): aֽl-tּishsemechi֤y 'oya֨betּiy֙ li֔y kּi֥y napa֖letּiy qa֑metּiy kּiֽy-'eshshe֣b bּacho֔shsheke yehva֖h '֥or liֽy׃s
Edified Edition (EDE)Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light to me.

אַֽל־תִּשְׂמְחִ֤י אֹיַ֨בְתִּי֙ לִ֔י כִּ֥י נָפַ֖לְתִּי קָ֑מְתִּי כִּֽי־אֵשֵׁ֣ב בַּחֹ֔שֶׁךְ יְהוָ֖ה א֥וֹר לִֽי׃ס

9
Phonetic (Hebrew): za֤'ap yehvah֙ 'eshsּa֔ kּi֥y chata֖'tiy l֑o 'ad֩ 'ashshe֨r yari֤yb riybiy֙ ve'ashsa֣h mishshepּati֔y yotziy'e֣niy la'֔or 'ere'e֖h bּetzideqatֽo׃
Edified Edition (EDE)I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against Him, until He plead my cause, and execute judgement for me: He will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold His righteousness.

זַ֤עַף יְהוָה֙ אֶשָּׂ֔א כִּ֥י חָטָ֖אתִי ל֑וֹ עַד֩ אֲשֶׁ֨ר יָרִ֤יב רִיבִי֙ וְעָשָׂ֣ה מִשְׁפָּטִ֔י יוֹצִיאֵ֣נִי לָא֔וֹר אֶרְאֶ֖ה בְּצִדְקָתֽוֹ׃

10
Phonetic (Hebrew): vetere֤ 'oya֨betּiy֙ utekasּe֣ha bushsha֔h ha'omera֣h 'ela֔y 'ayּ֖o yehva֣h 'eloha֑yike 'eynay֙ tּire'e֣ynּah bּa֔hּ 'atּa֛h tּiֽheye֥h lemirema֖s kּeti֥yt chutzֽot׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said to me, "Where is the LORD your God?" mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.

וְתֵרֶ֤א אֹיַ֨בְתִּי֙ וּתְכַסֶּ֣הָ בוּשָׁ֔ה הָאֹמְרָ֣ה אֵלַ֔י אַיּ֖וֹ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהָ֑יִךְ עֵינַי֙ תִּרְאֶ֣ינָּה בָּ֔הּ עַתָּ֛ה תִּֽהְיֶ֥ה לְמִרְמָ֖ס כְּטִ֥יט חוּצֽוֹת׃

11
Phonetic (Hebrew): y֖om liben֣ot gּedera֑yike y֥om hah֖u yirechaq-choֽq׃
Edified Edition (EDE)In the day that your walls are to be built, in that day shall the decree be far removed.

י֖וֹם לִבְנ֣וֹת גְּדֵרָ֑יִךְ י֥וֹם הַה֖וּא יִרְחַק־חֹֽק׃

12
Phonetic (Hebrew): y֥om hu'֙ ve'ade֣yka yab֔o leminּi֥y 'ashshּ֖ur ve'are֣y matz֑or uleminּi֤y matzor֙ ve'ad-naha֔r veya֥m miyּa֖m veha֥r hahaֽr׃
Edified Edition (EDE)In that day also he shall come even to you 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.

י֥וֹם הוּא֙ וְעָדֶ֣יךָ יָב֔וֹא לְמִנִּ֥י אַשּׁ֖וּר וְעָרֵ֣י מָצ֑וֹר וּלְמִנִּ֤י מָצוֹר֙ וְעַד־נָהָ֔ר וְיָ֥ם מִיָּ֖ם וְהַ֥ר הָהָֽר׃

13
Phonetic (Hebrew): vehayeta֥h ha'a֛retz lishshemama֖h 'al-yoֽshshebe֑yha mipּeri֖y maֽ'aleleyheֽm׃s
Edified Edition (EDE)Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.

וְהָיְתָ֥ה הָאָ֛רֶץ לִשְׁמָמָ֖ה עַל־יֹֽשְׁבֶ֑יהָ מִפְּרִ֖י מַֽעַלְלֵיהֶֽם׃ס

14
Phonetic (Hebrew): re'e֧h 'amּeka֣ beshshibete֗ka tzo֚'n naֽchalate֔ka shshokeni֣y lebada֔d ya֖'ar bּet֣oke kּareme֑l yire'֥u bashsha֛n vegile'a֖d kּiyme֥y 'olaֽm׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Feed Your people with Your rod, the flock of Your 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.

רְעֵ֧ה עַמְּךָ֣ בְשִׁבְטֶ֗ךָ צֹ֚אן נַֽחֲלָתֶ֔ךָ שֹׁכְנִ֣י לְבָדָ֔ד יַ֖עַר בְּת֣וֹךְ כַּרְמֶ֑ל יִרְע֥וּ בָשָׁ֛ן וְגִלְעָ֖ד כִּימֵ֥י עוֹלָֽם׃

15
Phonetic (Hebrew): kּiyme֥y tze'teka֖ me'e֣retz mitzera֑yim 'are'e֖nּu nipela'ֽot׃
Edified Edition (EDE)"According to the days of your coming out of the land of Egypt will I show to him marvellous things."

כִּימֵ֥י צֵאתְךָ֖ מֵאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרָ֑יִם אַרְאֶ֖נּוּ נִפְלָאֽוֹת׃

16
Phonetic (Hebrew): yire'֤u goyim֙ veyebo֔shshu mikּo֖l gּebֽurata֑m yashsi֤ymu yad֙ 'al-pּe֔h 'azeneyhe֖m tּecheraֽshshenah׃
Edified Edition (EDE)The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf.

יִרְא֤וּ גוֹיִם֙ וְיֵבֹ֔שׁוּ מִכֹּ֖ל גְּבֽוּרָתָ֑ם יָשִׂ֤ימוּ יָד֙ עַל־פֶּ֔ה אָזְנֵיהֶ֖ם תֶּחֱרַֽשְׁנָה׃

17
Phonetic (Hebrew): yelachak֤u 'apar֙ kּanּacha֔shsh kּezochale֣y 'e֔retz yiregּez֖u mimּisegּeroֽteyhe֑m 'el-yehva֤h 'elohe֨ynu֙ yipecha֔du veyiֽre'֖u mimּeֽkּa׃
Edified Edition (EDE)They 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 You.

יְלַחֲכ֤וּ עָפָר֙ כַּנָּחָ֔שׁ כְּזֹחֲלֵ֣י אֶ֔רֶץ יִרְגְּז֖וּ מִמִּסְגְּרֹֽתֵיהֶ֑ם אֶל־יְהוָ֤ה אֱלֹהֵ֨ינוּ֙ יִפְחָ֔דוּ וְיִֽרְא֖וּ מִמֶּֽךָּ׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and passes over the rebellion of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever, because you delight in showing mercy.

מִי־אֵ֣ל כָּמ֗וֹךָ נֹשֵׂ֤א עָוֺן֙ וְעֹבֵ֣ר עַל־פֶּ֔שַׁע לִשְׁאֵרִ֖ית נַחֲלָת֑וֹ לֹא־הֶחֱזִ֤יק לָעַד֙ אַפּ֔וֹ כִּֽי־חָפֵ֥ץ חֶ֖סֶד הֽוּא׃

תִּתֵּ֤ן אֱמֶת֙ לְיַֽעֲקֹ֔ב חֶ֖סֶד לְאַבְרָהָ֑ם אֲשֶׁר־נִשְׁבַּ֥עְתָּ לַאֲבֹתֵ֖ינוּ מִ֥ימֵי קֶֽדֶם׃
