1
Israel Is Corrupt
I feel so empty inside— like someone starving for grapes or figs, after the vines and trees have all been picked clean.
Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grapegleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the firstripe fruit.
2 No one is loyal to God; no one does right. Everyone is brutal and eager to deceive everyone else. The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.
3 People cooperate to commit crime. Judges and leaders demand bribes, and rulers cheat in court. That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.
4 The most honest of them is worse than a thorn patch. Your doom has come! Lookouts sound the warning, and everyone panics. The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity.
5 Don't trust anyone, not even your best friend, and be careful what you say to the one you love. Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
6 Sons refuse to respect their own fathers, daughters rebel against their own mothers, and daughters-in-law despise their mothers-in-law. Your family is now your enemy. For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.
7 But I trust the Lord God to save me, and I will wait for him to answer my prayer. Therefore I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
8
The Nation Turns to God
My enemies, don't be glad because of my troubles! I may have fallen, but I will get up; I may be sitting in the dark, but the Lord is my light.
Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me.
9 I have sinned against the Lord. And so I must endure his anger, until he comes to my defense. But I know that I will see him making things right for me and leading me to the light. I will bear the indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.
10 You, my enemies, said, “The Lord God is helpless.” Now each of you will be disgraced and put to shame. I will see you trampled like mud in the street. Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is the Lord thy God? mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
11
A Bright Future
Towns of Judah, the day is coming when your walls will be rebuilt, and your boundaries enlarged.
In the day that thy walls are to be built, in that day shall the decree be far removed.
12 People will flock to you from Assyria and Egypt, from Babylonia and everywhere else. In that day also he shall come even to thee from Assyria, and from the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
13 Those nations will suffer disaster because of what they did. Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.
14
Micah's Prayer and the 's Answer
Lead your people, Lord! Come and be our shepherd. Grasslands surround us, but we live in a forest. So lead us to Bashan and Gilead, and let us find pasture as we did long ago.
Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage, which dwell solitarily in the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
15 I, the Lord, will work miracles just as I did when I led you out of Egypt. According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous things.
16 Nations will see this and be ashamed because of their helpless armies. They will be in shock, unable to speak or hear, The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
17 because of their fear of me, your Lord and God. Then they will come trembling, crawling out of their fortresses like insects or snakes, lapping up the dust. They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the Lord our God, and shall fear because of thee.
18
No One Is Like God / The people said:
Our God, no one is like you. We are all that is left of your chosen people, and you freely forgive our sin and guilt. You don't stay angry forever; you're glad to have pity
Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.
19 and pleased to be merciful. You will trample on our sins and throw them in the sea. He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
20 You will keep your word and be faithful to Jacob and to Abraham, as you promised our ancestors many years ago. Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.
