Micah 7:2-5
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
2 The faithful have disappeared from the land,
and there is no one left who is upright;
they all lie in wait for blood,
and they hunt each other with nets.(A)
3 Their hands are skilled to do evil;
the official and the judge ask for a bribe,
and the powerful dictate what they desire;
thus they pervert justice.[a](B)
4 The best of them is like a brier,
the most upright of them a thorn hedge.
The day of their[b] sentinels, of their[c] punishment, has come;
now their confusion is at hand.(C)
5 Put no trust in a friend;
have no confidence in a loved one;
guard the doors of your mouth
from her who lies in your embrace,
Micah 7:2-5
New International Version
2 The faithful have been swept from the land;(A)
not one(B) upright person remains.
Everyone lies in wait(C) to shed blood;(D)
they hunt each other(E) with nets.(F)
3 Both hands are skilled in doing evil;(G)
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.
