Micah 7:3-6
English Standard Version Anglicised
3 (A)Their hands are on what is evil, to do it well;
(B)the prince and (C)the judge ask for a bribe,
and the great man utters the evil desire of his soul;
thus they weave it together.
4 The best of them is (D)like a brier,
the most upright of them a thorn hedge.
The day of (E)your watchmen, of your punishment, has come;
(F)now their confusion is at hand.
5 (G)Put no trust in a neighbour;
have no confidence in a friend;
guard (H)the doors of your mouth
from her who lies in your arms;[a]
6 for (I)the son treats the father with contempt,
the daughter rises up against her mother,
the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
(J)a man's enemies are the men of his own house.

New International Version
Micah 7:3-6
New International Version
3 Both hands are skilled in doing evil;(A)
the ruler demands gifts,
the judge accepts bribes,(B)
the powerful dictate what they desire—
they all conspire together.
4 The best of them is like a brier,(C)
the most upright worse than a thorn(D) hedge.
The day God visits you has come,
the day your watchmen sound the alarm.
Now is the time of your confusion.(E)
5 Do not trust a neighbor;
put no confidence in a friend.(F)
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,(G)
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
a man’s enemies are the members of his own household.(H)
