Micah 7:1-7

1WoeH480 to me! For I amH1961 Like harvestsH622 of summerH7019 fruitH7019, like gleaningsH5955 of 1grapesH1210. ThereH369 isH369 notH369 a clusterH811 ofH811 grapesH811 left to eatH398, Nor an 2earlyH1063 figH1063, which 3I craveH183.2The 4godlyH2623 personH2623 has 5perishedH6 from the landH776, And thereH369 isH369 noH369 uprightH3477 person among mankindH120. AllH3605 of them lieH693 inH693 waitH693 for 6bloodshedH1818; EachH376 of them huntsH6679 the otherH251 with a 7netH2764.3As for evilH7451, both handsH3709 doH3190 it 8wellH3190. The leaderH8269 asksH7592 for a 9bribeH7966, also the judgeH8199, And the greatH1419 oneH1419 speaksH1696 the capriciousH1942 desireH1942 of his soulH5315; So they plotH5686 it togetherH5686.4The bestH2896 of them is like a 10thornH2312 bushH2312, The most uprightH3477 like a 11thornH4534 hedgeH4534. The dayH3117 12when you post your watchmenH6822, Your 13punishmentH6486 is comingH935. ThenH6258 their 14confusionH3998 will occurH1961.5Do not 15trustH982 in a neighborH7453; Do not haveH982 confidenceH982 in a closeH7453 friendH7453. GuardH8104 16your lipsH6310 From her who liesH7901 17in your armsH2436.6For 18sonH1121 disavowsH5034 fatherH1, DaughterH1323 risesH6965 upH6965 against her motherH517, Daughter-in-lawH3618 against her mother-in-lawH2545; 19A person’sH376 enemiesH340 are the peopleH376 of his own householdH1004.

7But as for me, I will 20be on the watchH6822 for the LordH3068; I will 21waitH3176 for the GodH430 of my salvationH3468. My 22GodH430 will hearH8085 me.
