Micah 7:1 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

1What misery is mine!

I am like one who gathers summer fruit

at the gleaning of the vineyard;

there is no cluster of grapes to eat,

none of the early figs that I crave.

1Woe to me! For I am

Like harvests of summer fruit, like gleanings of grapes.

There is not a cluster of grapes left to eat,

Nor an early fig, which 7:1 Lit my soul desiresI crave.

1Woe is me! For I am

Like the fruit pickers, like the grape gatherers.

There is not a cluster of grapes to eat,

Or a first-ripe fig which I crave.

1Woe is me (judgment is coming)! For I am

Like one who gathers the summer fruits, like one who gleans the vintage grapes.

There is not a cluster of grapes to eat,

No first-ripe fig which my appetite craves.

1Woe is me!

For I am like one gathering summer fruit

at the gleaning of the vineyard;

there is no cluster to eat,

no early fig that I crave.

1I’m suffering very much!

I’m like someone who gathers summer fruit in a vineyard

after the good fruit has already been picked.

No grapes are left to eat.

None of the early figs I long for remain.
