  • Mic 7:1-6 : 1 Woe is me, for I am like those gathering summer fruit, like those gleaning after the harvest; there is no cluster to eat, no early fig that my soul desires. 2 The godly have perished from the land, and there is no upright person among humanity. All of them lie in wait for blood; they hunt each other with nets. 3 Their hands are skilled at doing evil: the ruler demands gifts, the judge accepts bribes, and the powerful speak out their selfish desires. Together they weave a web of corrupt schemes. 4 The best of them is like a brier; the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge. The day your watchmen foretold has come, the day of your visitation. Now confusion is upon them. 5 Do not trust a neighbor; put no confidence in a close friend. Guard the words of your mouth from her who lies in your embrace. 6 For a son treats his father with contempt, a daughter rises against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man’s enemies are the members of his own household.
  • Matt 24:10-12 : 10 'At that time many will turn away from the faith, betray, and hate each other.' 11 'And many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.' 12 'Because of the increase in lawlessness, the love of most will grow cold.'
