Micah, chapter 7, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 7 Vulgate

   1 Vae mihi, quia factum est mihi sicut congregata messe, sicut collecta vindemia! Non est botrus ad comedendum, nec praecoqua ficus, quam desideravit anima mea.
   2 Periit pius de terra, et rectus in hominibus non est; omnes in sanguine insidiantur, vir fratrem suum rete venatur.
   3 Ad malum manus eorum paratae sunt; princeps postulat, et iudex est pro mercede, et magnus manifestat desiderium animae suae; vae eis, qui pervertunt illud!
   4 Qui optimus in eis, est quasi paliurus, et, qui rectus, quasi spina de saepe; dies speculatorum tuorum, visitatio tua venit: nunc erit confusio eorum.
   5 Nolite credere amico, nolite confidere in proximo; ab ea, quae dormit in sinu tuo, custodi claustra oris tui;
   6 quia filius contumeliam facit patri, filia consurgit adversus matrem suam, nurus adversus socrum suam: inimici hominis domestici eius.
   7 Ego autem ad Dominum aspiciam, exspectabo Deum salvatorem meum; audiet me Deus meus.
   8 Ne laeteris, inimica mea, super me quia cecidi: consurgam; cum sedeo in tenebris, Dominus lux mea est.
   9 Iram Domini porto, quoniam peccavi ei, donec iudicet causam meam et faciat iudicium meum; educet me in lucem, videbo iustitiam eius.
   10 Et aspiciet inimica mea et operietur confusione, quae dicit ad me: "Ubi est Dominus Deus tuus?". Oculi mei videbunt in eam; nunc erit in conculcationem ut lutum platearum.
   11 Dies veniet ut aedificentur maceriae tuae; in die illa dilatabuntur fines tui.
   12 In die illa usque ad te venient habitantes ab Assyria usque ad Aegyptum et ab Aegypto usque ad flumen et a mari usque ad mare et a monte usque ad montem.
   13 Terra autem erit in desolationem propter habitatores suos et propter fructum operum eorum.
   14 Pasce populum tuum in virga tua, gregem hereditatis tuae, habitantes solos in saltu, in medio hortorum; pascantur Basan et Galaad iuxta dies antiquos.
   15 Secundum dies egressionis tuae de terra Aegypti ostende nobis mirabilia.
   16 Videbunt gentes et confundentur super omni fortitudine sua, ponent manum super os, aures eorum surdae erunt;
   17 lingent pulverem sicut serpens, velut reptilia terrae. Trementes exibunt de aedibus suis "ad Dominum Deum nostrum" formidabunt et timebunt te.
   18 Quis Deus similis tui, qui aufers iniquitatem et transis peccatum reliquiarum hereditatis tuae? Non servat in aeternum furorem suum, quoniam volens misericordiam est.
   19 Revertetur et miserebitur nostri, calcabit iniquitates nostras et proiciet in profundum maris omnia peccata nostra.
   20 Dabis veritatem Iacob, misericordiam Abraham, quae iurasti patribus nostris a diebus antiquis.

King James Version

   1 Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grapegleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the firstripe fruit.
   2 The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.
   3 ¶ That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.
   4 The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity.
   5 ¶ Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
   6 For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
   7 Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
   8 ¶ Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.
   9 I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.
   10 Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is the LORD thy God? mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
   11 In the day that thy walls are to be built, in that day shall the decree be far removed.
   12 In that day also he shall come even to thee from Assyria, and from the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
   13 Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.
   14 ¶ Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage, which dwell solitarily in the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
   15 According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous things.
   16 ¶ The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
   17 They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the LORD our God, and shall fear because of thee.
   18 Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.
   19 He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
   20 Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.
