Woe is me The speaker in Micah 7:1, or at any rate in Micah 7:1, is not the prophet, but the true Israel, i.e. Israel within Israel, personified. He is like a garden at the time of the fruit-harvest, which has many delightful fruits, but of course no early figs; or, like a vineyard, after the grape-gathering.

my soul desired Rather, -no early fig which my soul desireth."
