1 Poor me! I am like those gathering summer fruit, like those picking grapes. But there aren't any grapes to eat or any ripened figs that I crave. 2 Faithful people are gone from the earth, and no one is decent. All people lie in ambush to commit murder. They trap each other with nets. 3 Their hands are skilled in doing evil. Officials ask for gifts. Judges accept bribes. Powerful people dictate what they want. So they scheme together. 4 The best of them is like a briar. The most decent person is sharper than thornbushes. The day you thought you would be punished has come. Now is the time you will be confused. Micah 7:1-4, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
