Micah 7:2-6
2The 1godly person has 2perished from the land, And there is no upright person among mankind. All of them lie in wait for 3bloodshed; Each of them hunts the other with a 4net.3As for evil, both hands do it 5well. The leader asks for a 6bribe, also the judge, And the great one speaks the capricious desire of his soul; So they plot it together.4The best of them is like a 7thorn bush, The most upright like a 8thorn hedge. The day 9when you post your watchmen, Your 10punishment is coming. Then their 11confusion will occur.5Do not 12trust in a neighbor; Do not have confidence in a close friend. Guard 13your lips From her who lies 14in your arms.6For 15son disavows father, Daughter rises up against her mother, Daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; 16A person’s enemies are the people of his own household.
