Micah 7:1-7

1Woe to me! For I am Like harvests of summer fruit, like gleanings of 1grapes. There is not a cluster of grapes left to eat, Nor an 2early fig, which 3I crave.2The 4godly person has 5perished from the land, And there is no upright person among mankind. All of them lie in wait for 6bloodshed; Each of them hunts the other with a 7net.3As for evil, both hands do it 8well. The leader asks for a 9bribe, also the judge, And the great one speaks the capricious desire of his soul; So they plot it together.4The best of them is like a 10thorn bush, The most upright like a 11thorn hedge. The day 12when you post your watchmen, Your 13punishment is coming. Then their 14confusion will occur.5Do not 15trust in a neighbor; Do not have confidence in a close friend. Guard 16your lips From her who lies 17in your arms.6For 18son disavows father, Daughter rises up against her mother, Daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; 19A person’s enemies are the people of his own household.

7But as for me, I will 20be on the watch for the Lord; I will 21wait for the God of my salvation. My 22God will hear me.
