Micah 7:1-4 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

1. I feel so empty inside—like someone starvingfor grapes or figs,after the vines and treeshave all been picked clean.

2. No one is loyal to God;no one does right.Everyone is brutaland eager to deceiveeveryone else.

3. People cooperate to commit crime.Judges and leaders demand bribes,and rulers cheat in court.

4. The most honest of themis worse than a thorn patch.Your doom has come!Lookouts sound the warning,and everyone panics.
