Wait for the God of Salvation
1 Woe is me! For I have becomegas when the summer fruit has been gathered,
as when the grapes have been gleaned:
there is no cluster to eat,
no hfirst-ripe fig that my soul desires.
2 iThe godly has perished from the earth,
and jthere is no one upright among mankind;
kthey all lie in wait for blood,
and leach hunts the other with a net.
3 mTheir hands are on what is evil, to do it well;
nthe prince and othe judge ask for a bribe,
and the great man utters the evil desire of his soul;
thus they weave it together.
4The best of them is plike a brier,
the most upright of them a thorn hedge.
The day of qyour watchmen, of your punishment, has come;
rnow their confusion is at hand.
5 sPut no trust in a neighbor;
have no confidence in a friend;
guard tthe doors of your mouth
from her who lies in your arms; ▼

6for vthe son treats the father with contempt,
the daughter rises up against her mother,
the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
wa man’s enemies are the men of his own house.
Matthew 24:10-12
10And then many will fall away ▼▼Or stumble
and ybetray one another and hate one another. 11And many zfalse prophets will arise aaand lead many astray. 12And because lawlessness will be increased, abthe love of many will grow cold.
