Micah 7:3-5

Good News Translation

³ They are all experts at doing evil. Officials and judges ask for bribes. The influential people tell them what they want, and so they scheme together.^{[a] 4} Even the best and most honest of them are as worthless as weeds.

The day has come when God will punish the people, as he warned them through their watchmen, the prophets. Now they are in confusion. ⁵ Don't believe your neighbor or trust your friend. Be careful what you say even to your husband or wife.
