Micah 7:1-3

International Children’s Bible

7 Poor me! I am like a hungry man.
    And all the summer fruit has been picked.
There are no grapes left to eat.
    There are 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 his brother.
³ People are good at doing evil with both hands.
    Rulers ask for money.
    And judges’ decisions are bought for a price.
Rich people make their wishes known.
    They all join in their evil plans.
