Michée 7:1-7

Listen to Michée 7:1-7
1 Malheur à moi! car je suis comme à la récolte des fruits, Comme au grappillage après la vendange: Il n'y a point de grappes à manger, Point de ces primeurs que mon âme désire.
2 L'homme de bien a disparu du pays, Et il n'y a plus de juste parmi les hommes; Ils sont tous en embuscade pour verser le sang, Chacun tend un piège à son frère.
3 Leurs mains sont habiles à faire le mal: Le prince a des exigences, Le juge réclame un salaire, Le grand manifeste son avidité, Et ils font ainsi cause commune.
4 Le meilleur d'entre eux est comme une ronce, Le plus droit pire qu'un buisson d'épines. Le jour annoncé par tes prophètes, ton châtiment approche. C'est alors qu'ils seront dans la confusion.
5 Ne crois pas Ă  un ami, Ne te fie pas Ă  un intime; Devant celle qui repose sur ton sein Garde les portes de ta bouche.
6 Car le fils outrage le père, La fille se soulève contre sa mère, La belle-fille contre sa belle-mère; Chacun a pour ennemis les gens de sa maison. -
7 Pour moi, je regarderai vers l'Eternel, Je mettrai mon espérance dans le Dieu de mon salut; Mon Dieu m'exaucera.

Michée 7:1-7 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO MICAH 7

This chapter begins with a lamentation of the prophet, in the name of the church and people of God, concerning the general depravity and corruption of the times in which he lived, Mic 7:1-6; then declares what he was determined to do for his relief in such circumstances, Mic 7:7; comforts himself and the church with a good hope and firm belief of its being otherwise and better with them, to the shame and confusion of their enemies that now rejoiced, though without just reason for it, Mic 7:8-10; with promises of deliverance, after a desolation of the land for some time, Mic 7:11-13; and with the answer returned to the prayers of the prophet, Mic 7:14,15; which would issue in the astonishment of the world, and their subjection to the church of God, Mic 7:16,17; and the chapter is concluded with admiration at the pardoning grace and mercy of God, and his faithfulness to his promises, Mic 7:18-20.
