Micah 7:1-4
[1] Woe is me! For I have become as when the summer fruit has been gathered, as
when the grapes have been gleaned: there is no cluster to eat, no first-ripe fig that my
soul desires.
[2] The godly has perished from the earth, and there is no one upright among mankind;
they all lie in wait for blood, and each hunts the other with a net.
[3] Their hands are on what is evil, to do it well; the prince and the 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 like a brier, the most upright of them a thorn hedge. The day of
your watchmen, of your punishment, has come; now their confusion is at hand.
