Micah 7:2 (100.00%)

The godly man has perished out of the earth, and there is no one upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood; every man hunts his brother with a net.

The good H2623 [man] is perished H6 (8804) out of the earth H776: and [there is] none upright H3477 among men H120: they all lie in wait H693 (8799) for blood H1818; they hunt H6679 (8799) every man H376 his brother H251 with a net H2764.

Perished hath the kind out of the land, And upright among men-there are none, All of them for blood lie in wait, Each his brother they hunt with a net.
