Micah 7:2-4

New American Standard Bible 1995

² The ^[a]godly person has ^(A)perished from the land,
And there is no upright person among men.
All of them lie in wait for ^(B)bloodshed;
Each of them hunts the other with a ^(C)net.
³ Concerning evil, both hands do it ^(D)well.
The prince asks, also the judge, for a ^(E)bribe,
And a great man speaks the desire of his soul;
So they weave it together.
⁴ The best of them is like a ^(F)briar,
The most upright like a ^(G)thorn hedge.
The day when you post your watchmen,
Your ^(H)punishment will come.
Then their ^(I)confusion will occur.
