Micah 7:1-4

aas when the summer fruit has been gathered,
as when the grapes have been gleaned:
there is no cluster to eat,
no bfirst-ripe fig that my soul desires.
2 cThe godly has perished from the earth,
and dthere is no one upright among mankind;

and the great man utters the evil desire of his soul;

the most upright of them a thorn hedge.
The day of kyour watchmen, of your punishment, has come;
lnow their confusion is at hand.
