Micah 7:3-5

International Standard Version

³ And speaking of evil,
    they practice it eagerly—with both hands!
Both leader and judge demand a bribe,
    the famous confess their perverted desires,
        and they scheme together.
⁴ The best of them is like a thorn,
    and their most upright like a hedge of thorns.
The day announced by^[a] your watchmen—
    and by your own calculations—approaches.
        Now it’s your time to be^[b] confused!
