Micah 7:3 in Context — Micah 7
1 Malheur à moi! Car je suis comme à la récolte des fruits, Comme au grappillage après la vendange: Il n’y a point de grappes à manger, Point de ces primeurs que mon âme désire.
2 L’homme de bien a disparu du pays, Et il n’y a plus de juste parmi les hommes; Ils sont tous en embuscade pour verser le sang, Chacun tend un piège à son frère.
3 Leurs mains sont habiles à faire le mal: Le prince a des exigences, Le juge réclame un salaire, Le grand manifeste son avidité, Et ils font ainsi cause commune.
4 Le meilleur d’entre eux est comme une ronce, Le plus droit pire qu’un buisson d’épines. Le jour annoncé par tes prophètes, ton châtiment approche. C’est alors qu’ils seront dans la confusion.
5 Ne crois pas à un ami, Ne te fie pas à un intime; Devant celle qui repose sur ton sein Garde les portes de ta bouche.
