Stick Around to See What God Will Do

1–67I’m overwhelmed with sorrow!

sunk in a swamp of despair!

I’m like someone who goes to the garden

to pick cabbages and carrots and corn

And returns empty-handed,

finds nothing for soup or sandwich or salad.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Woe is me! For I have become

as when the summer fruit has been gathered,

as when the grapes have been gleaned:

there is no cluster to eat,

no first-ripe fig that my soul desires.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

What 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.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

How sad for me!

For I am like one who—

when the summer fruit has been gathered

after the gleaning of the grape harvest—

finds no grape cluster to eat,

no early fig, which I crave.

NLTNew Living Translation

How miserable I am!

I feel like the fruit picker after the harvest

who can find nothing to eat.

Not a cluster of grapes or a single early fig

can be found to satisfy my hunger.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Woe is me! For I have become

like the gatherings of summer,

like the gleanings of the grape harvest,

when there is no cluster of grapes to eat

or early ripened fruit that my soul desires.

KJV 1900King James Version

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.
