Micah 7:3-6

3Concerning evil, both hands do it 1well. The prince asks, also the judge, for a 2bribe, And a great man speaks the desire of his soul; So they weave it together.4The best of them is like a 3briar, The most upright like a 4thorn hedge. The day when you post your watchmen, Your 5punishment will come. Then their 6confusion will occur.5Do not 7trust in a neighbor; Do not have confidence in a friend. From her who lies in your bosom Guard 8your lips.6For 9son treats father contemptuously, Daughter rises up against her mother, Daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; 10A man’s enemies are the men of his own household.
