Woe to me! For I am Like harvests of summer fruit, like gleanings of ^(C1)grapes. There is not a cluster of grapes left to eat, Nor an ^(C2)early fig, which ^(F1)I crave.

The ^(F1)godly person has ^(C1)perished from the land, And there is no upright person among mankind. All of them lie in wait for ^(C2)bloodshed; Each of them hunts the other with a ^(C3)net.

As for evil, both hands do it ^(C1)well. The leader asks for a ^(C2)bribe, also the judge, And the great one speaks the capricious desire of his soul; So they plot it together.

The best of them is like a ^(C1)thorn bush, The most upright like a ^(C2)thorn hedge. The day ^(F1)when you post your watchmen, Your ^(C3)punishment is coming. Then their ^(C4)confusion will occur.

Do not ^(C1)trust in a neighbor; Do not have confidence in a close friend. Guard ^(F1)your lips From her who lies ^(F2)in your arms.

For ^(C1)son disavows father, Daughter rises up against her mother, Daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; ^(C2)A person's enemies are the people of his own household.

But as for me, I will ^(C1)be on the watch for the LORD; I will ^(C2)wait for the God of my salvation. My ^(C3)God will hear me.
