Micah 7:12–15

12 In that day people will come to you

from Assyria and the cities of Egypt,

even from Egypt to the Euphrates

and from sea to sea

and from mountain to mountain.

13 The earth will become desolate because of its inhabitants,

as the result of their deeds.

14 Shepherd your people with your staff,

the flock of your inheritance,

which lives by itself in a forest,

in fertile pasturelands.

Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead

as in days long ago.

15 “As in the days when you came out of Egypt,

I will show them my wonders.”

12 In 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.

13 Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein,

For the fruit of their doings.

14 Feed 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.

15 According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt

Will I shew unto him marvellous things.

12 People from many lands will come and honor you—

from Assyria all the way to the towns of Egypt,

from Egypt all the way to the Euphrates River,

and from distant seas and mountains.

13 But the land will become empty and desolate

because of the wickedness of those who live there.

14 O Lord, protect your people with your shepherd’s staff;

lead your flock, your special possession.

Though they live alone in a thicket

on the heights of Mount Carmel,

let them graze in the fertile pastures of Bashan and Gilead

as they did long ago.

15 “Yes,” says the Lord,

“I will do mighty miracles for you,

like those I did when I rescued you

from slavery in Egypt.”

12 In that day they shall come to you

From Assyria and the fortified cities,

From the fortress to the River,

From sea to sea,

And mountain to mountain.

13 Yet the land shall be desolate

Because of those who dwell in it,

And for the fruit of their deeds.

14 Shepherd Your people with Your staff,

The flock of Your heritage,

Who dwell solitarily in a woodland,

In the midst of Carmel;

Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead,

As in days of old.

15 “As in the days when you came out of the land of Egypt,

I will show them wonders.”

12 At that time your people will come back to you

from Assyria and the cities of Egypt,

and from Egypt to the Euphrates River,

and from sea to sea and mountain to mountain.

13 The earth will be ruined for the people who live in it

because of their deeds.

14 So shepherd your people with your stick;

tend the flock of people who belong to you.

That flock now lives alone in the forest

in the middle of a garden land.

Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead

as in days long ago.

15 “As in the days when I brought you out of Egypt,

I will show them miracles.”

12 In that day shall they come unto thee from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt even to the River, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain. 13 Yet shall the land be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.

14 Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thy heritage, which dwell solitarily, in the forest in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old. 15 As in the days of thy coming forth out of the land of Egypt will I show unto them marvellous things.

12 In that day they shall come to thee from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain. 13 But the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.

14 Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine inheritance, dwelling alone in the forest, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old. 15 —As in the days of thy coming forth out of the land of Egypt, will I shew them marvellous things.

12 When that day comes, your people will come to you 

from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, 

from Egypt to the Euphrates River, 

from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain. 

13 The earth will become a wasteland for those who live on it 

because of what the people living there have done. 

14 With your shepherd’s staff, take care of your people, 

the sheep that belong to you. 

They live alone in the woods, in fertile pastures. 

Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead like before. 

15 Let us see miracles 

like the time you came out of Egypt. 

12 On that day people will come to you

from Assyria and the cities of Egypt,

even from Egypt to the Euphrates River

and from sea to sea

and mountain to mountain.

13 Then the earth will become a wasteland

because of its inhabitants

and as a result of their actions.

14 Shepherd Your people with Your staff,

the flock that is Your possession.

They live alone in a woodland

surrounded by pastures.

Let them graze in Bashan and Gilead

as in ancient times.

15 I will perform miracles for them

as in the days of your exodus

from the land of Egypt.

12 On that day they will come to you

from Assyria to Egypt

and from Egypt to the River,

from sea to sea and from mountain to mountain.

13 But the earth will be desolate

because of its inhabitants,

for the fruit of their doings.

14 Shepherd your people with your staff,

the flock that belongs to you,

which lives alone in a forest

in the midst of a garden land;

let them feed in Bashan and Gilead

as in the days of old.

15 As in the days when you came out of the land of Egypt,

show us marvelous things.

12 On that day he will come to you

from Assyria and the cities of Egypt,

and from Egypt to the River,

and from sea to sea

and mountain to mountain.

13 But the earth will be a desolation

because of its inhabitants,

for the fruit of their deeds.

14 Shepherd your people with your staff,

the flock of your inheritance,

those dwelling alone in a forest

in the midst of Carmel.

Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead,

as in the days of old.

15 As in the days when you came out

from the land of Egypt

I will show him wondrous things.

12 At that time your people will come back to you.

They’ll return from Assyria

and the cities of Egypt.

They’ll come from the countries

between Egypt and the Euphrates River.

They’ll return from the lands

between the seas.

They’ll come back from the countries

between the mountains.

13 But the rest of the earth will be deserted.

The people who live in it

have done many evil things.

14 Lord, be like a shepherd to your people.

Take good care of them.

They are your flock.

They live by themselves

in the safety of a forest.

Rich grasslands are all around them.

Let them eat grass in Bashan and Gilead

just as they did long ago.

15 The Lord says to his people,

“I showed your people my wonders

when they came out of Egypt long ago.

In the same way, I will show them to you.”

12 It will be a day when they will come to you

From Assyria and the cities of Egypt,

From Egypt even to the Euphrates,

Even from sea to sea and mountain to mountain.

13 And the earth will become desolate because of her inhabitants,

On account of the fruit of their deeds.

14 Shepherd Your people with Your scepter,

The flock of Your possession

Which dwells by itself in the woodland,

In the midst of a fruitful field.

Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead

As in the days of old.

15 “As in the days when you came out from the land of Egypt,

I will show you miracles.”
