Micah 7:4-7
New International Version
Micah 7:4-7
New International Version
4 The best of them is like a brier,(A)
the most upright worse than a thorn(B) hedge.
The day God visits you has come,
the day your watchmen sound the alarm.
Now is the time of your confusion.(C)
5 Do not trust a neighbor;
put no confidence in a friend.(D)
Even with the woman who lies in your embrace
guard the words of your lips.
6 For a son dishonors his father,
a daughter rises up against her mother,(E)
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
a man’s enemies are the members of his own household.(F)
Micah 7:4-7
King James Version
Micah 7:4-7
King James Version
4 The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity.
5 Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
6 For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
7 Therefore I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
