Obviously there were some righteous, including Isaiah, but by overstating his case he made his point: there were very few. All of them seemed to wait for the opportunity to advance their own interests, even resorting to violence and bloodshed to do so (cf. Micah 3:10; Micah 6:12). They behaved like hunters waiting to snare unsuspecting birds in their nets.
