Micah 7:7

I will wait for the God who delivers me.

My God will hear my lament. ¹ 

Micah 4:2

4:2 Many nations will come, saying,

“Come on! Let’s go up to the Lord’s mountain,

to the temple ²  of Jacob’s God,

so he can teach us his commands ³ 

and we can live by his laws.” ⁴ 

For Zion will be the source of instruction;

the Lord’s teachings will proceed from Jerusalem. ⁵
