Micah 7:2-4

Good News Translation

² There is not an honest person left in the land, no one loyal to God. Everyone is waiting for a chance to commit murder. Everyone hunts down their own people. ³ They are all experts at doing evil. Officials and judges ask for bribes. The influential people tell them what they want, and so they scheme together.^{[a] 4} Even the best and most honest of them are as worthless as weeds.

The day has come when God will punish the people, as he warned them through their watchmen, the prophets. Now they are in confusion.
