New Century Version

Micah 7:1-4 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 watchmen warned you about has come.Now they will be confused.
