Micah 7

New Century Version NCV

1 Poor me! I am like a hungry man, and all the summer fruit has been picked -- there are no grapes left to eat, none of the early figs I love.

2 All of the faithful people are gone; there is not one good person left in this country. Everyone is waiting to kill someone; everyone is trying to trap someone else.

3 With both hands they are doing evil. Rulers ask for money, and judges' decisions are bought for a price. Rich people tell what they want, and they get it.

4 Even the best of them is like a thornbush; the most honest of them is worse than a prickly plant. The day that your watchmenn warned you about has come. Now they will be confused.

5 Don't believe your neighbor or trust a friend. Don't say anything, even to your wife.

6 A son will not honor his father, a daughter will turn against her mother, and a daughter-in-law will be against her mother-in-law; a person's enemies will be members of his own family.

7 Israel says, "I will look to the Lord for help. I will wait for God to save me; my God will hear me.

8 Enemy, don't laugh at me. I have fallen, but I will get up again. I sit in the shadow of trouble now, but the Lord will be a light for me.

9 I sinned against the Lord, so he was angry with me, but he will defend my case in court. He will bring about what is right for me. Then he will bring me out into the light, and I will see him set things right.

10 Then my enemies will see this, and they will be ashamed, those who said to me, 'Where is the Lord your God?' I will look down on them. They will get walked on, like mud in the street."

11 The time will come when your walls will be built again, when your country will grow.

12 At that time your people will come back to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt to the Euphrates River, and from sea to sea and mountain to mountain.

13 The earth will be ruined for the people who live in it because of their deeds.

14 So shepherd your people with your stick; tend the flock of people who belong to you. That flock now lives alone in the forest in the middle of a garden land. as in days long ago.

15 "As in the days when I brought you out of Egypt, I will show them miracles."

16 When the nations see those miracles, they will no longer brag about their power. They will put their hands over their mouths, refusing to listen.

17 They will crawl in the dust like a snake, like insects crawling on the ground. They will come trembling from their holes to the Lord our God and will turn in fear before you.

18 There is no God like you. You forgive those who are guilty of sin; you don't look at the sins of your people who are left alive. You will not stay angry forever, because you enjoy being kind.

19 You will have mercy on us again; you will conquer our sins. You will throw away all our sins into the deepest part of the sea.

20 You will be true to the people of Jacob, and you will be kind to the people of Abraham as you promised to our ancestors long ago.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 vae mihi quia factus sum sicut qui colligit in autumno racemos vindemiae non est botrus ad comedendum praecoquas ficus desideravit anima mea

2 periit sanctus de terra et rectus in hominibus non est omnes in sanguine insidiantur vir fratrem suum venatur ad mortem

3 malum manuum suarum dicunt bonum princeps postulat et iudex in reddendo est et magnus locutus est desiderium animae suae et conturbaverunt eam

4 qui optimus in eis est quasi paliurus et qui rectus quasi spina de sepe dies speculationis tuae visitatio tua venit nunc erit vastitas eorum

5 nolite credere amico et nolite confidere in duce ab ea quae dormit in sinu tuo custodi claustra oris tui

6 quia filius contumeliam facit patri filia consurgit adversus matrem suam nurus contra socrum suam inimici hominis domestici eius

7 ego autem ad Dominum aspiciam expectabo Deum salvatorem meum audiet me Deus meus

8 ne laeteris inimica mea super me quia cecidi consurgam cum sedero in tenebris Dominus lux mea est

9 iram Domini portabo quoniam peccavi ei donec iudicet causam meam et faciat iudicium meum educet me in lucem videbo in iustitiam eius

10 et aspiciet inimica mea et operietur confusione quae dicit ad me ubi est Dominus Deus tuus oculi mei videbunt in eam nunc erit in conculcationem ut lutum platearum

11 dies ut aedificentur maceriae tuae in die illa longe fiet lex

12 in die illa et usque ad te veniet Assur et usque ad civitates munitas et a civitatibus munitis usque ad flumen et ad mare de mari et ad montem de monte

13 et erit terra in desolationem propter habitatores suos et propter fructum cogitationum eorum

14 pasce populum tuum in virga tua gregem hereditatis tuae habitantes solos in saltu in medio Carmeli pascentur Basan et Galaad iuxta dies antiquos

15 secundum dies egressionis tuae de terra Aegypti ostendam ei mirabilia

16 videbunt gentes et confundentur super omni fortitudine sua ponent manus super os aures eorum surdae erunt

17 lingent pulverem sicut serpens velut reptilia terrae proturbabuntur de aedibus suis Dominum Deum nostrum desiderabunt et timebunt te

18 quis Deus similis tui qui aufers iniquitatem et transis peccatum reliquiarum hereditatis tuae non inmittet ultra furorem suum quoniam volens misericordiam est

19 revertetur et miserebitur nostri deponet iniquitates nostras et proiciet in profundum maris omnia peccata nostra

20 dabis veritatem Iacob misericordiam Abraham quae iurasti patribus nostris a diebus antiquis
