Micah 7:2-6

English Standard Version

^2 (A)The godly has perished from the earth,
    and ^(B)there is no one upright among mankind;
^(C)they all lie in wait for blood,
    and ^(D)each hunts the other with a net.
^3 (E)Their hands are on what is evil, to do it well;
    ^(F)the prince and ^(G)the judge ask for a bribe,
and the great man utters the evil desire of his soul;
    thus they weave it together.
⁴ The best of them is ^(H)like a brier,
    the most upright of them a thorn hedge.
The day of ^(I)your watchmen, of your punishment, has come;
    ^(J)now their confusion is at hand.
^5 (K)Put no trust in a neighbor;
    have no confidence in a friend;
guard ^(L)the doors of your mouth
    from her who lies in your arms;^[a]
6 for ^(M)the son treats the father with contempt,
    the daughter rises up against her mother,
the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
    ^(N)a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
