What does Micah 7:1 mean?

I feel like someone who goes out to gather fruit after the harvest, but there’s nothing left—no grapes, not even a single fig. I’m empty, and there’s nothing sweet to find anywhere. Micah 7:1 - Modern Text Bible

(Micah is expressing deep disappointment and loneliness, comparing his situation to a fruit picker who finds nothing left. It’s a metaphor for spiritual and moral emptiness in his community.)
