Micah 7:2

Baptist
SCRIPTURE

"The godly man is perished out of the earth, and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net." — Micah 7:2 (ASV)

Those were sad times in which Micah lived; and yet, in some respects, one might be willing and even glad to live in such times, for, if ever one could be useful to one's fellows, surely it would be then. God had need of a voice like that of the prophet Micah in the days when his worship was forsaken, and the true faith had almost died out among people. Unless God had left a Micah here and there, the land would have been as Sodom, and have been made like Gomorrah. So the more unpleasant the age was to the good man, the more necessary and profitable he was to that age.
