7 Woe to me!

For I have become like the gatherings of summer fruit,

like the gleanings of the grape harvest.

There is no cluster to eat,

no early fig that my soul desires.

2 The faithful one has perished from the land,

and there is no upright one among mankind.

All of them lie in wait for bloodshed;

each man hunts his brother with a net.

3 Concerning evil, the two hands act to do it well;

the ruler is asking,

and the judge, for the recompense,

and the great one is speaking the desire of his very soul;

and they weave it together.

4 The best of them is like a brier;

the upright, worse than a thorn hedge.

The day of your watchers, your visitation, has come.

Now their confusion will be.

5 Do not believe in a neighbor;

Do not trust in a friend.

From the one lying in your bosom,

guard the doors of your mouth.

6 For a son is dishonoring a father;

a daughter is rising against her mother;

a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

The enemies of a man

are the men of his house.

7 But I, I will watch for Yahweh;

I shall wait for the God of my salvation.

My God will hear me.

8 Do not rejoice over me, my enemy!

Though I have fallen; I will arise.

Though I sit in the darkness;

Yahweh is a light to me.

9 I will bear the rage of Yahweh,

for I have sinned against him,

until he pleads my case

and accomplishes my justice.

He will bring me out to the light;

I will look on his righteousness.

10 Then may my enemy see,

so that shame covers her,

the one saying to me,

“Where is Yahweh your God?”

My eyes will look at her;

now she will become a trampling place

like the mud of the streets.

11 A day to build your walls!

That day the boundary will be far away.

12 That is the day when as far as you he will come,

from Assyria and the cities of Egypt,

and from Egypt and as far as the River,

and to sea from sea,

and mountain to the mountain.

13 And the land will become a desolation

on account of her inhabitants,

from the fruit of their deeds.

14 Shepherd your people with your rod,

the flock of your inheritance,

the one dwelling alone,

a forest in the midst of Carmel.

May they graze in Bashan and Gilead

as in the days of old.

15 As in the days of your going out from the land of Egypt,

I will make him see wonders.

16 The nations will see and will be ashamed

of all of their might.

They will put a hand over mouth;

their ears will be deaf.

17 They will lick dust like the serpent;

like crawling things of the earth,

they will tremble from their strongholds.

They will approach in dread Yahweh our God,

and they will fear because of you.

18 Who is a God like you,

bearing iniquity and passing over transgression

for the remnant of his inheritance?

He does not hold his nose forever,

for he delights in covenant faithfulness, he does.

19 He will return; he will have compassion on us.

He will subdue our iniquities,

and you will throw into the depths of the sea

all of their sins.

20 You will grant trustworthiness to Jacob,

covenant faithfulness to Abraham,

which you swore to our fathers

from the days of old.
