5 Thus says the Lord:
Cursed are those who trust in mere mortals

and shall not see when relief comes.
They shall live in the parched places of the wilderness,
in an uninhabited salt land.(B)
7 Blessed are those who trust in the Lord,
whose trust is the Lord.(C)

they will not see prosperity when it comes.
They will dwell in the parched places(C) of the desert,
in a salt(D) land where no one lives.

Micah 7:5-7
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
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)
Micah 7:5-7
New International Version

5 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.
6 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)

8 Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your heart before him;

9 Those of low estate are but a breath;
those of high estate are a delusion;
in the balances they go up;
they are together lighter than a breath.(B)
