Micah 7:2-3
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.
