Micah 7:1 - The Message

I’m overwhelmed with sorrow! sunk in a swamp of despair!
I’m like someone who goes to the garden
   to pick cabbages and carrots and corn
And returns empty-handed,
   finds nothing for soup or sandwich or salad.
There’s not a decent person in sight.
   Right-living humans are extinct.
They’re all out for one another’s blood,
   animals preying on each other.
They’ve all become experts in evil.
   Corrupt leaders demand bribes.
The powerful rich
   make sure they get what they want.
The best and brightest are thistles.
   The top of the line is crabgrass.
But no longer: It’s exam time.
   Look at them slinking away in disgrace!
Don’t trust your neighbor,
   don’t confide in your friend.
Watch your words,
   even with your spouse.
Neighborhoods and families are falling to pieces.
   The closer they are—sons, daughters, in-laws—
The worse they can be.
   Your own family is the enemy.
