Micah 7:2-4

Names of God Bible

² Faithful people are gone from the earth,
    and no one is decent.
    All people lie in ambush to commit murder.
    They trap each other with nets.
³         Their hands are skilled in doing evil.
            Officials ask for gifts.
            Judges accept bribes.
            Powerful people dictate what they want.
                So they scheme together.^[a]
4 The best of them is like a briar.
    The most decent person is sharper than thornbushes.
    The day you thought you would be punished has come.
        Now is the time you will be confused.
