“How miserable I am! I feel like the fruit picker after harvest who can find nothing to ear. No a cluster of grapes or a single early fig can be found to satisfy my hunger. The godly people have disappeared; not one honest person is left on the earth. They are all murderers, setting traps even for their own brothers.” (vv. 1-2, NLT)
“Don’t trust anyone – not your best friend or even your wife! For the son despises his father, and the daughter defiles her mother. The daughter-in-law defiles her mother-in-law. Your enemies are right in your own household!”
But as for me, I look for the Lord for help. I wait confidently for God to save me, and my God will certainly hear me. Do not gloat over me, my enemies! For thought I fall, I will rise again. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light. I will be patient as the Lord punishes me, for I have sinned agains Him. But after that, He will take up my case and give me justice for all I have suffered from my enemies. The Lord will bring me into the light, and I will see His righteousness
Then my enemies will be ashamed that they taunted me, saying, ‘So where is the Lord-that God of yours? With my own eyes, I will see their downfall; they will be trampled in the mud in the streets.”( vv. 5-10, NLT)
