Micah 7:2-5
New King James Version
2 The (A)faithful[a] man has perished from the earth,
And there is no one upright among men.
They all lie in wait for blood;
(B)Every man hunts his brother with a net.
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.
5 (E)Do not trust in a friend;
Do not put your confidence in a companion;
Guard the doors of your mouth
From her who lies in your (F)bosom.

they hunt each other(E) with nets.(F)

the ruler demands gifts,
the judge accepts bribes,(H)
the powerful dictate what they desire—
they all conspire together.
4 The best of them is like a brier,(I)
the most upright worse than a thorn(J) hedge.
The day God visits you has come,
the day your watchmen sound the alarm.
Now is the time of your confusion.(K)
5 Do not trust a neighbor;
put no confidence in a friend.(L)
Even with the woman who lies in your embrace
guard the words of your lips.
