Woe to me! For I amLike harvests of summer fruit, like gleanings of grapes.There is not a cluster of grapes left to eat,Nor an early fig, which [a]I crave.2The [b]godly person has perished from the land,And there is no upright person among mankind.All of them lie in wait for bloodshed;Each of them hunts the other with a net.3As for evil, both hands do it well.The leader asks for a bribe, also the judge,And the great one speaks the capricious desire of his soul;So they plot it together.4The best of them is like a thorn bush,The most upright like a thorn hedge.The day [c]when you post your watchmen,Your punishment is coming.Then their confusion will occur.5Do not trust in a neighbor;Do not have confidence in a close friend.Guard [d]your lipsFrom her who lies [e]in your arms.6For son disavows father,Daughter rises up against her mother,Daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;A person’s enemies are the people of his own household.God Is the Source of Salvation and Light7But as for me, I will be on the watch for the LORD;I will wait for the God of my salvation.My God will hear me.8Do not rejoice over me, enemy of mine.Though I fall I will rise;Though I live in darkness, the LORD is a light for me.9I will endure the rage of the LORDBecause I have sinned against Him,Until He pleads my case and executes justice for me.He will bring me out to the light,And I will look at His [f]righteousness.10Then my enemy will see,And shame will cover her who said to me,“Where is the LORD your God?”My eyes will look at her;[g]At that time she will [h]be trampled downLike mud of the streets.11It will be a day for building your walls.On that day your boundary will be extended.12It will be a day when [i]they will come to youFrom Assyria and the cities of Egypt,From Egypt even to the Euphrates River,Even from sea to sea and mountain to mountain.13And the earth will become a wasteland because of her inhabitants,On account of the fruit of their deeds.14Shepherd Your people with Your scepter,The flock of Your [j]possessionWhich lives by itself in the woodland,In the midst of [k]a fruitful field.Let them feed in Bashan and GileadAs in the days of old.15“As in the days when you went out from the land of Egypt,I will show [l]you miracles.”16Nations will see and be ashamedOf all their might.They will put their hand on their mouth,Their ears will be deaf.17They will lick up dust like a snake,Like [m]reptiles of the earth.They will come trembling out of their [n]fortresses;To the LORD our God they will come in trepidation,And they will be afraid of You.18Who is a God like You, who pardons wrongdoingAnd passes over a rebellious act of the remnant of His [o]possession?He does not retain His anger forever,Because He delights in mercy.19He will again take pity on us;He will trample on our wrongdoings.Yes, You will cast all [p]their sinsInto the depths of the sea.20You will give [q]truth to JacobAnd favor to Abraham,Which You swore to our forefathersFrom the days of old.FEAR IS A SIN! Let's move our lives into God and receive His rest and peace on all sides no matter how much of a drama queen the Enemy is.
