Mikha 3:4

3:4 Someday these sinners will cry to the Lord for help, ¹ 

but he will not answer them.

He will hide his face from them at that time,

because they have done such wicked deeds.”

Mikha 7:2

7:2 Faithful men have disappeared ²  from the land;

there are no godly men left. ³ 

They all wait in ambush so they can shed blood; ⁴ 

they hunt their own brother with a net. ⁵ 

[3:4]  ¹ tn Heb “then they will cry out to the Lord.” The words “Someday these sinners” have been supplied in the translation for clarification.

[7:2]  ² tn Or “have perished”; “have been destroyed.”

[7:2]  ³ tn Heb “and an upright one among men there is not.”

[7:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “for bloodshed” (so NASB); TEV “for a chance to commit murder.”

[7:2]  ⁵ sn Micah compares these ungodly people to hunters trying to capture their prey with a net.
