Micah 7:5-7

5 Put no trust in a friend;
have no confidence in a loved one;
guard the doors of your mouth
from her who lies in your embrace,
6 for the son treats the father with contempt,
the daughter rises up against her mother,
the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
your enemies are members of your own household.(A)
7 But as for me, I will look to the Lord;
I will wait for the God of my salvation;
my God will hear me.(B)
