Micah 7:5-6
King James Version
5 Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
6 For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.

Micah 7:5-6
New Living Translation
5 Don’t trust anyone—
not your best friend or even your wife!
6 For the son despises his father.
The daughter defies her mother.
The daughter-in-law defies her mother-in-law.
Your enemies are right in your own household!
Micah 7:5-6
English Standard Version
5 (A)Put no trust in a neighbor;
have no confidence in a friend;
guard (B)the doors of your mouth
from her who lies in your arms;[a]
6 for (C)the son treats the father with contempt,
the daughter rises up against her mother,
the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
(D)a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
