Micah 7:2-4

New Catholic Bible

² The faithful have vanished from the land;
    there is no honest person to be found.
They all lie in wait to shed blood;
    each one hunts his brother with a net.
³ Their hands are skilled in performing evil deeds;
    the ruler demands gifts,
the judge asks for a bribe,
    the powerful man follows his own desires.
⁴ The best of them is like a briar,
    the most upright like a thorn hedge.
The day of their punishment now approaches;
    now they will be seized by confusion.
