Mikha 7:2

Konteks

7:2 Faithful men have disappeared¹ from the land;

there are no godly men left.²

They all wait in ambush so they can shed blood;³

they hunt their own brother with a net.⁴

Mikha 7:7

Konteks

7:7 But I will keep watching for the Lord;

I will wait for the God who delivers me.

My God will hear my lament.⁵

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

[7:2] ³tn Heb “for bloodshed” (so NASB); TEV “for a chance to commit murder.”

[7:2] ⁴sn Micah compares these ungodly people to hunters trying to capture their prey with a net.

[7:7] ⁵tn Heb “me.” In the interest of clarity the nature of the prophet’s cry has been specified as “my lament” in the translation.
