Micah 7:2-6

New American Standard Bible

² The ^[a]godly person has ^(A)perished from the land,
And there is no upright person among mankind.
All of them lie in wait for ^(B)bloodshed;
Each of them hunts the other with a ^(C)net.
³ As for evil, both hands do it ^(D)well.
The leader asks for a ^(E)bribe, also the judge,
And the great one speaks the capricious desire of his soul;
So they plot it together.
⁴ The best of them is like a ^(F)thorn bush,
The most upright like a ^(G)thorn hedge.
The day ^[b]when you post your watchmen,
Your ^(H)punishment is coming.
Then their ^(I)confusion will occur.
⁵ Do not ^(J)trust in a neighbor;
Do not have confidence in a close friend.
Guard ^[c]your lips
From her who lies ^[d]in your arms.
⁶ For ^(K)son disavows father,
Daughter rises up against her mother,
Daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
^(L)A person’s enemies are the people of his own household.
