Micah 7:1-4

7:1

Woe
<0480>

is me! for I am as when they have gathered
<0625>

the summer fruits
<07019>_,

as the grapegleanings
<05955>

of the vintage
<01210>_:

[there is] no cluster
<0811>

to eat
<0398> (8800)_:

my soul
<05315>

desired
<0183> (8765)

the firstripe fruit
<01063>_.

{when...: Heb. the gatherings of summer}

7:2

The good
<02623>

[man] is perished
<06> (8804)

out of the earth
<0776>_:

and [there is] none upright
<03477>

among men
<0120>_:

they all lie in wait
<0693> (8799)

for blood
<01818>_;

they hunt
<06679> (8799)

every man
<0376>

his brother
<0251>

with a net
<02764>_.

{good: or, godly, or, merciful}

7:3

That they may do evil
<07451>

with both hands
<03709>

earnestly
<03190> (8687)_,

the prince
<08269>

asketh
<07592> (8802)_,

and the judge
<08199> (8802)

[asketh] for a reward
<07966>_;

and the great
<01419>

[man], he uttereth
<01696> (8802)

his mischievous
<01942>

desire
<05315>_:

so they wrap it up
<05686> (8762)_.

{his...: Heb. the mischief of his soul}

7:4

The best
<02896>

of them [is] as a brier
<02312>_:

the most upright
<03477>

[is sharper] than a thorn hedge
<04534>_:

the day
<03117>

of thy watchmen
<06822> (8764)

[and] thy visitation
<06486>

cometh
<0935> (8804)_;

now shall be their perplexity
<03998>_.
