1 Poor me! I am like a hungry man.And all the summer fruit has been picked.There are no grapes left to eat.There are none of the early figs I love.
2 All of the faithful people are gone.There is not one good person left in this country.Everyone is waiting to kill someone.Everyone is trying to trap his brother.
3 People are good at doing evil with both hands.Rulers ask for money.And judges’ decisions are bought for a price.Rich people make their wishes known.They all join in their evil plans.
4 Even the best of them is like a thornbush.Even the nicest of them is worse than a thornbush.Your watchmen warned you about this day.Now it has come.Now you will be punished.Your punishment will amaze you.
5 Don’t trust your neighbor.Don’t even trust a friend.Be careful what you say,even to your wife.
