Micah 7:1-7 -
Israel's moral corruption.
Mic.7.1-7
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.
7
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.
7
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.
7
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.
7
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;
7
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.
7
7
But as for me, I will look to Yahweh,
I will wait for the God of my salvation;
my God will hear me.
