Micah 7:2-6

2The godlyH2623 manH376 is perishedH6 outH4480 of the earthH776, and there is noneH369 uprightH3477 among menH376: they allH3605 lieH693 in waitH693 for bloodH1818; they huntH6679 everyH3605 manH376 his brotherH251 with a net.

3Their handsH3709 are uponH5921 that whichH1931 is evilH7451 to doH3190 it diligently; the princeH8269 asketh, and the judgeH8199 is ready for a reward; and the greatH1419 manH5315, he uttereth the mischief of his soulH5315: thus they weaveH5686 it togetherH5921.

4The bestH2896 of them is as a brier: the most uprightH3477 is worse thanH2896 a thornH4534 hedgeH4534: the dayH3117 of thy watchmenH6822, even thy visitation, is comeH935; nowH6258 shall be their perplexity.

5TrustH982 ye notH408 in a friendH7453, putH982 ye notH408 confidenceH982 in a guide: keepH8104 the doorsH6607 of thy mouthH6310 from herH8104 that lieth in thy bosomH2436.

6For the sonH1121 dishonoureth the fatherH1, the daughterH1323 riseth upH6965 againstH376 herH3588 motherH517, the daughterH1323 in law againstH376 herH3588 motherH517 in law; a man’sH376 enemiesH341 are the menH376 of his ownH376 houseH1004.
