Micah 7:1-7

1WoeH480 is me! For I amH1961 Like the fruitH7019 pickersH625, like the 1grapeH1210 gatherersH5955. ThereH369 is not a clusterH811 of grapes to eatH398, Or a 2first-ripeH1063 figH1063 which 3I craveH183.2The 4godlyH2623 personH2623 has 5perishedH6 from the landH776, And thereH369 is noH369 uprightH3477 person among menH120. AllH3605 of them lieH693 in waitH693 for 6bloodshedH1818; EachH376 of them huntsH6679 the otherH251 with a 7netH2764.3ConcerningH5921 evilH7451, both handsH3709 doH3190 it 8wellH3190. The princeH8269 asksH7592, also the judgeH8199, for a 9bribeH7966, And a greatH1419 manH1419 speaksH1696 the desireH1942 of his soulH5315; So they weaveH5686 it togetherH5686.4The bestH2896 of them is like a 10briarH2312, The most uprightH3477 like a 11thornH4534 hedgeH4534. The dayH3117 when you post your watchmenH6822, Your 12punishmentH6486 will comeH935. ThenH6258 their 13confusionH3998 will occurH1961.5Do not 14trustH982 in a neighborH7453; Do not haveH982 confidenceH982 in a friendH7453. From her who liesH7901 in your bosomH2436 GuardH8104 15your lipsH6310.6For 16sonH1121 treatsH5034 fatherH1 contemptuouslyH5034, DaughterH1323 risesH6965 up against her motherH517, Daughter-in-lawH3618 against her mother-in-lawH2545; 17A man’sH376 enemiesH340 are the menH376 of his own householdH1004.

7But as for me, I will 18watchH6822 expectantlyH6822 for the LordH3068; I will 19waitH3176 for the GodH430 of my salvationH3468. My 20GodH430 will hearH8085 me.
