Micah 7:4-6
GOD’S WORD Translation
4 The best of them is like a briar.
The most decent person is sharper than thornbushes.
The day you thought you would be punished has come.
Now is the time you will be confused.
5 Don’t trust your neighbors.
Don’t have confidence in ⌞your⌟ friends.
Keep your mouth shut even when a woman is lying in your arms.
6 A son treats his father with contempt.
A daughter rebels against her mother.
A daughter-in-law rebels against her mother-in-law.
People’s enemies are the members of their own families.
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)
