Micah 7:3-5

New Century Version

³ With both hands they are doing evil.
    Rulers ask for money,
    and judges’ decisions are bought for a price.
Rich people tell what they want,
    and they get it.
⁴ Even the best of them is like a thornbush;
    the most honest of them is worse than a prickly plant.
The day that your watchmen^[a] warned you about has come.
    Now they will be confused.
⁵ Don’t believe your neighbor
    or trust a friend.
Don’t say anything,
    even to your wife.
