Micah 7:2-6
English Standard Version
Micah 7:2-6
English Standard Version
2 (A)The godly has perished from the earth,
and (B)there is no one upright among mankind;
(C)they all lie in wait for blood,
and (D)each hunts the other with a net.
3 (E)Their hands are on what is evil, to do it well;
(F)the prince and (G)the judge ask for a bribe,
and the great man utters the evil desire of his soul;
thus they weave it together.
4 The best of them is (H)like a brier,
the most upright of them a thorn hedge.
The day of (I)your watchmen, of your punishment, has come;
(J)now their confusion is at hand.
5 (K)Put no trust in a neighbor;
have no confidence in a friend;
guard (L)the doors of your mouth
from her who lies in your arms;[a]
6 for (M)the son treats the father with contempt,
the daughter rises up against her mother,
the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
(N)a man's enemies are the men of his own house.

Micah 7:2-6
New International Version
Micah 7:2-6
New International Version
2 The faithful have been swept from the land;(A)
not one(B) upright person remains.
Everyone lies in wait(C) to shed blood;(D)
they hunt each other(E) with nets.(F)
3 Both hands are skilled in doing evil;(G)
the ruler demands gifts,
the judge accepts bribes,(H)
the powerful dictate what they desire—
they all conspire together.
4 The best of them is like a brier,(I)
the most upright worse than a thorn(J) hedge.
The day God visits you has come,
the day your watchmen sound the alarm.
Now is the time of your confusion.(K)
5 Do not trust a neighbor;
put no confidence in a friend.(L)
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,(M)
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
a man’s enemies are the members of his own household.(N)
