Do not (A)trust in a neighbor;
Do not have confidence in a close friend.
Guard [a]your lips
From her who lies [b]in your arms.
For (B)son disavows father,
Daughter rises up against her mother,
Daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
(C)A person’s enemies are the people of his own household.

God Is the Source of Salvation and Light

But as for me, I will (D)be on the watch for the Lord;
I will (E)wait for the God of my salvation.
My (F)God will hear me.
(G)Do not rejoice over me, (H)enemy of mine.
Though I fall I will (I)rise;
Though I live in darkness, the Lord is a (J)light for me.

I will endure the rage of the Lord
Because I have sinned against Him,
Until He (K)pleads my case and executes justice for me.
He will bring me out to the (L)light,
And I will look at His [c](M)righteousness.
10 Then my enemy will see,
And shame will cover her who (N)said to me,
“Where is the Lord your God?”
My eyes will look at her;
[d]At that time she will [e]be (O)trampled down
Like mud of the streets.

Notas al pie

  1. Micah 7:5 Lit the openings of your mouth
  2. Micah 7:5 Lit on your chest
  3. Micah 7:9 I.e., right dealing
  4. Micah 7:10 Lit Now
  5. Micah 7:10 Lit become a trampled place

Do not trust a neighbor;
    put no confidence in a friend.(A)
Even with the woman who lies in your embrace
    guard the words of your lips.
For a son dishonors his father,
    a daughter rises up against her mother,(B)
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
    a man’s enemies are the members of his own household.(C)

But as for me, I watch(D) in hope(E) for the Lord,
    I wait for God my Savior;
    my God will hear(F) me.

Israel Will Rise

Do not gloat over me,(G) my enemy!
    Though I have fallen, I will rise.(H)
Though I sit in darkness,
    the Lord will be my light.(I)
Because I have sinned against him,
    I will bear the Lord’s wrath,(J)
until he pleads my case(K)
    and upholds my cause.
He will bring me out into the light;(L)
    I will see his righteousness.(M)
10 Then my enemy will see it
    and will be covered with shame,(N)
she who said to me,
    “Where is the Lord your God?”(O)
My eyes will see her downfall;(P)
    even now she will be trampled(Q) underfoot
    like mire in the streets.
