| 7 1 | Woe is me! For I have become as when the summer fruit has been gathered, as when the vintage has been gleaned: there is no cluster to eat, no first-ripe fig which my soul desires. | Israel's moral corruption. Mic.7.1-7 | אַלְלַי לִי כִּי הָיִיתִי כְּאָסְפֵּי־קַיִץ כְּעֹלְלֹת בָּצִיר אֵין־אֶשְׁכֹּול לֶאֱכֹול בִּכּוּרָה אִוְּתָה נַפְשִׁי׃ |
| 2 | The godly man has perished from the earth, and there is none upright among men; they all lie in wait for blood, and each hunts his brother with a net. | אָבַד חָסִיד מִן־הָאָרֶץ וְיָשָׁר בָּאָדָם אָיִן כֻּלָּם לְדָמִים יֶאֱרֹבוּ אִישׁ אֶת־אָחִיהוּ יָצוּדוּ חֵרֶם׃ | |
| 3 | Their hands are upon what is evil, to do it diligently; the prince and the judge ask for a bribe, and the great man utters the evil desire of his soul; thus they weave it together. | עַל־הָרַע כַּפַּיִם לְהֵיטִיב הַשַּׂר שֹׁאֵל וְהַשֹּׁפֵט בַּשִּׁלּוּם וְהַגָּדֹול דֹּבֵר הַוַּת נַפְשֹׁו הוּא וַיְעַבְּתוּהָ׃ | |
| 4 | The best of them is like a brier, the most upright of them a thorn hedge. The day of their watchmen, of their punishment, has come; now their confusion is at hand. | טֹובָם כְּחֵדֶק יָשָׁר מִמְּסוּכָה יֹום מְצַפֶּיךָ פְּקֻדָּתְךָ בָאָה עַתָּה תִהְיֶה מְבוּכָתָם׃ | |
| 5 | Put no trust in a neighbour, have no confidence in a friend; guard the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your bosom; | אַל־תַּאֲמִינוּ בְרֵעַ אַל־תִּבְטְחוּ בְּאַלּוּף מִשֹּׁכֶבֶת חֵיקֶךָ שְׁמֹר פִּתְחֵי־פִיךָ׃ | |
| 6 | for the son treats the father with contempt, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house. | כִּי־בֵן מְנַבֵּל אָב בַּת קָמָה בְאִמָּהּ כַּלָּה בַּחֲמֹתָהּ אֹיְבֵי אִישׁ אַנְשֵׁי בֵיתֹו׃ | |
| 7 | But as for me, I will look to Yahweh, I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me. | וַאֲנִי בַּיהוָה אֲצַפֶּה אֹוחִילָה לֵאלֹהֵי יִשְׁעִי יִשְׁמָעֵנִי אֱלֹהָי׃ | |
