Micah7:8
8. Rejoice not--at my fall.
when I fall, I shall arise--(Psa 37:24; Pr 24:16).
when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light--Israel reasons as her divine representative, Messiah, reasoned by faith in His hour of darkness and desertion (Is 50:7, 8, 10). Israel addresses Babylon, her triumphant foe (or Edom), as a female; the type of her last and worst foes (Psa 137:7, 8). "Mine enemy," in Hebrew, is feminine.
