Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 7:14–20: A prayer to the LORD for restoration, and praise for his mercy

This section has two main parts. The first part, 7:14–17, contains prayers to the LORD for the restoration of his people and the defeat of their enemies. The second part, 18–20, is a hymn of praise to the LORD for his compassion and his faithful relationship with Israel. These Notes and the Display will assume that the main speaker is Micah, who speaks as a representative of the people.This suggestion is favored by EBC, JFB, TOTC, Mangum, and Waltke 2007. Commentators who suggest that the speaker is the people, collectively, include Achtemeier, NICOT, WBC, and UBS. However, in 7:15 and in 18–20 there are brief changes of speaker and/or addressee. See the notes under paragraph 7:14–17 and under paragraph 7:18–20 for more detailed discussion.

Here are some other examples of section headings:

Prayer and Praise (NIV)

The Lord’s compassion on Israel (NLT)

Paragraph 7:14–17

The Notes and the Display will follow the paragraph description below:

In 7:14 Micah prayed to the LORD on behalf of the people.
In 7:15 the LORD told how he would answer the prayer.
In 7:16–17 Micah prayed again based on the answer that the LORD gave in 7:15.
Some versions place paragraph headings here. These are some examples:
A prayer for the Confusion of Zion’s Enemies (NJB)
Micah’s Prayer and the Lord’s Answer (CEV)

7:15a

As in the days when you came out of Egypt,

As in the past when you^(sing) came out of Egypt,
And Yahweh replied, “As I did when you^(plur) came out of Egypt,

As in the days when you came out of Egypt: There are two main interpretations of the referent of the word you in this clause part:

The word you refers to Israel.Or Micah as a representative of the people of Israel. See Waltke 2007 (pages 441–442). The LORD is the speaker. In this clause part he referred to the time that the people of Israel came out of Egypt. For example:
As in the days when you departed from the land of Egypt, I will show you miraculous deeds. (NET) (CEV, ESV, KJV, BSB, NASB, NCV, NET, NIV, NJPS, NLT, RSV)
The word you refers to the LORD. Micah is the speaker. In this clause part he referred to the time that the LORD came out of Egypt. For example:
Show us miracles as in the days when you came out of Egypt. (REB) (GNT, GW, NAB, NJB, NRSV, REB)

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1) along with a slight majority of versions.Consider if a cross-reference such as Exodus 13:3 might be helpful here. In the Display, one line will use you^(sing) to refer to Israel as a collective whole. The other line will use you^(plur) to refer to the people of Israel.

In Hebrew, this clause part indicates only that the people came out of Egypt. It leaves implicit that it was the LORD who led the people out. In some languages, it may be helpful to make this information explicit. For example:

As in the days when I brought you out of Egypt (NCV)

the days: In Hebrew, this phrase is an expression that means “the time.”

Here are some other ways to translate this expression:

Keep the expression. For example:
in the days when you came out of Egypt (NIV)
Translate the meaning directly. For example:
when you came out of Egypt

7:15a–b

(combined/reordered)

I, the Lord, will work miracles just as I did when I led you out of Egypt. (CEV)

7:15b

I will show My wonders.

I will show you^(sing) miracles.
I will show you^(plur) wonders.”

I will show My wonders: There is a textual issue here:

The Masoretic Text has “I will show him.” For example:
I will show him wondrous deeds (NJPS) (BSB, CEV, ESV, KJV, NASB, NCV, NET, NIV, NJPS, NLT, RSV)
Some scholars think that the original Hebrew text was “Show us.” For example:
Show us miracles (REB) (GNT, GW, NAB, NJB, NRSV, REB)

It is recommended that you follow option (1). It makes good sense and requires no change to the Hebrew text. Here the LORD promised that he would again do marvelous things for the people of Israel as he did when he rescued them from slavery in Egypt.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause part:

I will show you miraculous deeds (NET)

I will show them my wonders (NIV)

I will do mighty miracles for you (NLT)

show: In Hebrew, this phrase is literally “show him.” The phrase refers to the LORD showing or demonstrating his power to Israel by doing marvelous things. The phrase “show him” sounds unnatural in some languages. Many versions translate this phrase in a more natural way in their language. For example:

show them (NIV)

do…for you (NLT)

wonders: This phrase refers to the acts of the LORD during the time of the exodus. In this context, some of these acts were the plagues in Egypt and the miracles in the wilderness of Sinai. See the previous note for other ways to translate this phrase.

General Comment on 7:15a–b

In some languages, it may be more natural to combine and/or reorder these lines. For example:
