Micah 7:4-6
English Standard Version
Micah 7:4-6
English Standard Version
4 The best of them is (A)like a brier,
the most upright of them a thorn hedge.
The day of (B)your watchmen, of your punishment, has come;
(C)now their confusion is at hand.
5 (D)Put no trust in a neighbor;
have no confidence in a friend;
guard (E)the doors of your mouth
from her who lies in your arms;[a]
6 for (F)the son treats the father with contempt,
the daughter rises up against her mother,
the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
(G)a man's enemies are the men of his own house.

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)
