Micah 7:1-6

Wait for the God of Salvation

1 Woe is me! For I have become
^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;
^ethey all lie in wait for blood,
and ^feach hunts the other with a net.
3 ^gTheir hands are on what is evil, to do it well;
^hthe prince and ⁱthe judge ask for a bribe,
and the great man utters the evil desire of his soul;
thus they weave it together.
4 The best of them is ^jlike a brier,
the most upright of them a thorn hedge.
The day of ^kyour watchmen, of your punishment, has come;
^lnow their confusion is at hand.
5 ^mPut no trust in a neighbor;
have no confidence in a friend;
guard ⁿthe doors of your mouth
from her who lies in your arms; ^{▼▼Hebrew bosom}
6 for ^pthe son treats the father with contempt,
the daughter rises up against her mother,
the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
^qa man’s enemies are the men of his own house.
