Micah 7:3-5
Authorized (King James) Version
Micah 7:3-5
Authorized (King James) Version
3 That they may do evil with both hands earnestly,
the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward;
and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire:
so they wrap it up.
4 The best of them is as a brier:
the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge:
the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh;
now shall be their perplexity.
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.
Micah 7:3-5
New International Version
Micah 7:3-5
New International Version
3 Both hands are skilled in doing evil;(A)
the ruler demands gifts,
the judge accepts bribes,(B)
the powerful dictate what they desire—
they all conspire together.
4 The best of them is like a brier,(C)
the most upright worse than a thorn(D) hedge.
The day God visits you has come,
the day your watchmen sound the alarm.
Now is the time of your confusion.(E)
5 Do not trust a neighbor;
put no confidence in a friend.(F)
Even with the woman who lies in your embrace
guard the words of your lips.
