Micah 7:2-4

New King James Version

³ That they may successfully do evil with both hands—
The prince asks for gifts,
The judge seeks a ^(C)bribe,
And the great man utters his evil desire;
So they scheme together.
⁴ The best of them is ^(D)like a brier;
The most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge;
The day of your watchman and your punishment comes;
Now shall be their perplexity.
