Micah 7:1-7
Israel's people are very bad, but Micah still believes God

Other people have picked the fruit already.
So I am like those people who can only pick the last
Those are the grapes that other people leave behind.
Really, there are no grapes there to eat.
There are none of the first
There are no good, honest people.
Everyone is waiting to kill someone else.
They are all like hunters, who try to catch each other.
Rulers demand gifts and
Powerful bad people always get what they want.

Soon God will
and you will be confused.
You cannot be sure that your friend will always be honest with you.
Be careful what you say to your wife.
Be careful even when you are hugging her.

Wives quarrel with their husbands' mothers.
A man's enemies are the people who live in his own house now.
I will wait for God, who saves me.
I know that he hears me.
