Sorrow for Israel’s Sins
1 Woe is me!
For I am like those who gather summer fruits,
Like those who aglean vintage grapes;
There is no cluster to eat
Of the first-ripe fruit which bmy soul desires.

2 The afaithful man has perished from the earth,
And there is no one upright among men.
They all lie in wait for blood;
bEvery man hunts his brother with a net.
And there is no one upright among men.
They all lie in wait for blood;
bEvery man hunts his brother with a net.
3 That they may successfully do evil with both hands—
The prince asks for gifts,
The judge seeks a abribe,
And the great man utters his evil desire;
So they scheme together.

4 The best of them is alike a brier;
The most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge;
The day of your watchman and your punishment comes;
Now shall be their perplexity.

Now shall be their perplexity.
5 aDo not trust in a friend;
Do not put your confidence in a companion;
Guard the doors of your mouth
From her who lies in your bbosom.
Do not put your confidence in a companion;
Guard the doors of your mouth
From her who lies in your bbosom.
6 For ason dishonors father,
Daughter rises against her mother,
Daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
A man’s enemies are the men of his own household.
Daughter rises against her mother,
Daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
A man’s enemies are the men of his own household.
