TSK · Micah 7:8

If I have rejoiced over the misfortune of my enemy or exulted because calamity found him–

They will fall down, but we will stand firm.

But when I stumbled, they rejoiced and gathered together; they gathered together to ambush me. They tore at me without stopping to rest.

Indeed a righteous person will fall seven times, and then get up again, but the guilty will collapse in calamity.

O descendants of Jacob, come, let us walk in the LORD’s guiding light.

the people who sit in darkness have seen a great light, and on those who sit in the region and shadow of death a light has dawned.”

to open their eyes so that they turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a share among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

And those who live on the earth will rejoice over them and celebrate, even sending gifts to each other, because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth.

Night will be no more, and they will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, because the Lord God will shine on them, and they will reign forever and ever.
