For I have become    as when the summer fruit has been gathered,    as when the grapes have been gleaned:    there is no cluster to eat,    no first-ripe fig that my soul desires.2 The godly has perished from the earth,    and there is no one upright among mankind;    they all lie in wait for blood,    and each hunts the other with a net.3 Their hands are on what is evil, to do it well;    the prince and the judge ask for a bribe,and the great man utters the evil desire of his soul;    thus they weave it together.4 The best of them is like a brier,    the most upright of them a thorn hedge.    The day of your watchmen, of your punishment, has come;    now their confusion is at hand.5 Put no trust in a neighbor;    have no confidence in a friend;    guard the doo

There you shall be rescued;   there the Lord will redeem you from the hand of your enemies.11 Now many nations are assembled against you,   saying, “Let her be defiled, and let our eyes gaze upon Zion.”12 But they do not know the thoughts of the Lord;   they do not understand his plan, that he has gathered them as sheaves to the threshing floor.13 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion, for I will make your horn iron,   and I will make your hoofs bronze; you shall beat in pieces many peoples;   and shall devote their gain to the Lord, their wealth to the Lo
