Though I Have Fallen
"Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."
— Micah 7:8
Micah was writing while his own country was falling apart, with corrupt courts and neighbours informing on each other. He does not claim he is standing. He says he has fallen and he is sitting in the dark. The sentence still turns, twice, on one word: though. Both halves are true at the same time.
