Micah 7
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
7 Woe is me, for I am become as one that gleaneth in autumn the grapes of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat, my soul desired the firstripe figs.
2 The holy man is perished out of the earth, and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood, every one hunteth his brother to death.
3 The evil of their hands they call good: the prince requireth, and the judge is for giving: and the great man hath uttered the desire of his soul, and they have troubled it.
4 He that is best among them, is as a brier: and he that is righteous, as the thorn of the hedge. The day of thy inspection, thy visitation cometh: now shall be their destruction.
5 Believe not a friend, and trust not in a prince: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that sleepeth in thy bosom.
6 For the son dishonoureth the father, and the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law: and a man's enemies are they of his own household.
7 But I will look towards the Lord, I will wait for God my Saviour: my God will hear me.
8 Rejoice not, thou, my enemy, over me, because I am fallen: I shall arise, when I sit in darkness, the Lord is my light.
9 I will bear the wrath of the Lord, because I have sinned against him; until he judge my cause and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth into the light, I shall behold his justice.
10 And my enemy shall behold, and she shall be covered with shame, who saith to me: Where is the Lord thy God? My eyes shall look down upon her: now shall she be trodden under foot as the mire of the streets.
11 The day shall come, that thy walls may be built up: in that day shall the law be far removed.
12 In that day they shall come even from Assyria to thee, and to the fortified cities: and from the fortified cities even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
13 And the land shall be made desolate, because of the inhabitants thereof, and for the fruit of their devices.
14 Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thy inheritance, them that dwell alone in the forest, in the midst of Carmel: they shall feed in Basan and Galaad according to the days of old.
15 According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt I will shew him wonders.
16 The nations shall see, and shall be confounded at all their strength: they shall put the hand upon the mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
17 They shall lick the dust like serpents, as the creeping things of the earth, they shall be disturbed in their houses: they shall dread the Lord our God, and shall fear thee.
18 Who is a God like to thee, who takest away iniquity, and passest by the sin of the remnant of thy inheritance? he will send his fury in no more, because he delighteth in mercy.
19 He will turn again, and have mercy on us: he will put away our iniquities: and he will cast all our sins into the bottom of the sea.
20 Thou wilt perform the truth of Jacob, the mercy to Abraham: which thou hast sworn to our fathers from the days of old.

Lamento por la corrupción de Israel
7 ¡Ay de mí!, porque soy
Como los recogedores de frutos de verano, como los rebuscadores en la vendimia(A).
No hay racimo de uvas que comer,
Ni higo temprano que tanto deseo(B).
2 Ha desaparecido el bondadoso de la tierra(C),
Y no hay ninguno recto entre los hombres.
Todos acechan para derramar sangre(D),
Unos a otros se echan la red(E).
3 Para el mal(F) las dos manos son diestras.
El príncipe pide, y también el juez, una recompensa,
El grande habla de lo que desea su alma,
Y juntos lo traman(G).
4 El mejor de ellos es como un zarzal,
Y el más recto como un seto de espinos(H).
El día que pongas tus centinelas,
Tu castigo llegará(I).
¡Entonces será su confusión(J)!
5 No se fíen del vecino,
Ni confíen en el amigo(K).
De la que reposa en tu seno,
Guarda tus labios.
6 Porque el hijo trata con desdén al padre,
La hija se levanta contra la madre,
Y la nuera contra su suegra(L);
Los enemigos del hombre son los de su propia casa(M).
Dios, fuente de luz y salvación
7 ¶Pero yo pondré mis ojos(N) en el Señor,
Esperaré en el Dios de mi salvación(O).
Mi Dios me oirá(P).
8 No te alegres(Q) de mí, enemiga mía(R).
Aunque caiga, me levantaré(S),
Aunque more en tinieblas, el Señor es mi luz(T).
9 ¶La indignación del Señor soportaré,
Porque he pecado contra Él,
Hasta que defienda mi causa(U) y establezca mi derecho.
Él me sacará a la luz(V),
Y yo veré Su justicia(W).
10 Entonces mi enemiga lo verá,
Y se cubrirá de vergüenza la que me decía:
«¿Dónde está el Señor tu Dios(X)?».
Mis ojos la contemplarán;
Entonces será pisoteada
Como el lodo de las calles(Y).
11 Viene el día para la edificación de tus muros(Z);
Aquel día se extenderán tus límites.
12 Viene el día cuando ellos vendrán hasta ti
Desde Asiria y las ciudades de Egipto(AA);
Desde Egipto hasta el Río[a],
De mar a mar y de monte a monte.
13 Y la tierra será desolada a causa de sus habitantes(AB),
Por el fruto de sus obras(AC).
14 ¶Pastorea a Tu pueblo(AD) con Tu cayado(AE),
El rebaño de Tu heredad,
Que mora solo en el bosque,
En medio de un campo fértil.
Que se apacienten en Basán y Galaad(AF)
Como en los días de antaño(AG).
15 «Como en los días de tu salida de la tierra de Egipto,
Te mostraré milagros(AH)».
16 Verán las naciones y se avergonzarán(AI)
De todo su poderío;
Se pondrán la mano sobre la boca(AJ),
Sus oídos se ensordecerán.
17 Lamerán el polvo(AK) como la serpiente,
Como los reptiles de la tierra(AL).
Saldrán temblando de sus fortalezas(AM),
Al Señor nuestro Dios vendrán llenos de miedo,
Y temerán delante de ti(AN).
18 ¿Qué Dios hay como Tú, que perdona la iniquidad(AO)
Y pasa por alto la rebeldía del remanente de Su heredad(AP)?
No persistirá en Su ira para siempre(AQ),
Porque se complace en la misericordia(AR).
19 Volverá a compadecerse de nosotros,
Eliminará[b] nuestras iniquidades(AS).
Sí, arrojarás a las profundidades del mar
Todos nuestros pecados(AT).
20 Otorgarás a Jacob la verdad
Y a Abraham(AU) la misericordia,
Las cuales juraste a nuestros padres(AV)
Desde los días de antaño.

Israel’s Misery
7 What misery is mine!
I am like one who gathers summer fruit
at the gleaning of the vineyard;
there is no cluster of grapes to eat,
none of the early figs(A) that I crave.
2 The faithful have been swept from the land;(B)
not one(C) upright person remains.
Everyone lies in wait(D) to shed blood;(E)
they hunt each other(F) with nets.(G)
3 Both hands are skilled in doing evil;(H)
the ruler demands gifts,
the judge accepts bribes,(I)
the powerful dictate what they desire—
they all conspire together.
4 The best of them is like a brier,(J)
the most upright worse than a thorn(K) hedge.
The day God visits you has come,
the day your watchmen sound the alarm.
Now is the time of your confusion.(L)
5 Do not trust a neighbor;
put no confidence in a friend.(M)
Even with the woman who lies in your embrace
guard the words of your lips.
6 For a son dishonors his father,
a daughter rises up against her mother,(N)
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
a man’s enemies are the members of his own household.(O)
7 But as for me, I watch(P) in hope(Q) for the Lord,
I wait for God my Savior;
my God will hear(R) me.
Israel Will Rise
8 Do not gloat over me,(S) my enemy!
Though I have fallen, I will rise.(T)
Though I sit in darkness,
the Lord will be my light.(U)
9 Because I have sinned against him,
I will bear the Lord’s wrath,(V)
until he pleads my case(W)
and upholds my cause.
He will bring me out into the light;(X)
I will see his righteousness.(Y)
10 Then my enemy will see it
and will be covered with shame,(Z)
she who said to me,
“Where is the Lord your God?”(AA)
My eyes will see her downfall;(AB)
even now she will be trampled(AC) underfoot
like mire in the streets.
11 The day for building your walls(AD) will come,
the day for extending your boundaries.
12 In that day people will come to you
from Assyria(AE) and the cities of Egypt,
even from Egypt to the Euphrates
and from sea to sea
and from mountain to mountain.(AF)
13 The earth will become desolate because of its inhabitants,
as the result of their deeds.(AG)
Prayer and Praise
14 Shepherd(AH) your people with your staff,(AI)
the flock of your inheritance,
which lives by itself in a forest,
in fertile pasturelands.[a](AJ)
Let them feed in Bashan(AK) and Gilead(AL)
as in days long ago.(AM)
15 “As in the days when you came out of Egypt,
I will show them my wonders.(AN)”
16 Nations will see and be ashamed,(AO)
deprived of all their power.
They will put their hands over their mouths(AP)
and their ears will become deaf.
17 They will lick dust(AQ) like a snake,
like creatures that crawl on the ground.
They will come trembling(AR) out of their dens;
they will turn in fear(AS) to the Lord our God
and will be afraid of you.
18 Who is a God(AT) like you,
who pardons sin(AU) and forgives(AV) the transgression
of the remnant(AW) of his inheritance?(AX)
You do not stay angry(AY) forever
but delight to show mercy.(AZ)
19 You will again have compassion on us;
you will tread our sins underfoot
and hurl all our iniquities(BA) into the depths of the sea.(BB)
20 You will be faithful to Jacob,
and show love to Abraham,(BC)
as you pledged on oath to our ancestors(BD)
in days long ago.(BE)
