Charles Ellicott Commentary Micah 7:1

"Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grape gleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat; my soul desireth the first-ripe fig." — Micah 7:1 (ASV)

Woe is me! —Micah gives here a fearful picture of the demoralised state of society in Judah which had called down the vengeance of God. As the early fig gathered in June is eagerly sought by the traveller, so the prophet anxiously sought a good man; but his experience was that of the Psalmist: The godly man ceases; the faithful fail from among the children of men.
