Micah 7:4-6

Easy-to-Read Version

⁴ Even the best of them is as crooked
    as a tangled thornbush.

Your prophets said this day would come,
    and the day of your watchmen^[a] has come.
Now you will be punished.
    Now you will be confused!
⁵ Don’t trust your neighbor
    or trust a friend!
Don’t even speak freely
    with your wife.
⁶ Your enemies will be the people in your own house.
    A son will not honor his father.
A daughter will turn against her mother.
    A daughter-in-law will turn against her mother-in-law.
