Micah 7:4-6
EasyEnglish Bible
Micah 7:4-6
EasyEnglish Bible
4 The best of them are dangerous like wild plants with thorns.[a]
The most honest of them are worse than thorn bushes.
The bad time that your prophets told you about is coming.
Soon God will punish you,
and you will be confused.
5 Do not believe anyone, even somebody that you know well.
You cannot be sure that your friend will always be honest with you.
Be careful what you say to your wife.
Be careful even when you are hugging her.
6 Sons think that their fathers are fools.
And daughters refuse to obey their mothers.
Wives quarrel with their husbands' mothers.
A man's enemies are the people who live in his own house now.

New International Version
Micah 7:4-6
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)
