Micah 7:2-4

Expanded Bible

² All of the faithful people ·are gone [^Lhave perished from the land/earth];
    there is not one ·good [upright] person left in this country.
Everyone ·is waiting to kill someone [^Llies in wait for blood];
    everyone ·is trying to trap someone else [^Lhunts his brother with a net].
³ With both hands they are doing evil.
    Rulers ask for ·money [gifts],
    and judges’ decisions are bought for a ·price [bribe].
·Rich [Influential; Great] people ·tell what they want [make demands],
    and they get it.
⁴ Even the best of them is like a ·thornbush [brier];
    the most ·honest [upright] of them is worse than a ·prickly plant [thorn hedge].
The day ·that your watchmen warned you about [^Lof your watchmen; ^Cthe coming exile predicted by the prophets] has come.
    Now they will be confused [^Cwithout the guidance of the prophets].
