Micah 7:3-5
New American Standard Bible 1995
3 Concerning evil, both hands do it (A)well.
The prince asks, also the judge, for a (B)bribe,
And a great man speaks the desire of his soul;
So they weave it together.
4 The best of them is like a (C)briar,
The most upright like a (D)thorn hedge.
The day when you post your watchmen,
Your (E)punishment will come.
Then their (F)confusion will occur.
5 Do not (G)trust in a neighbor;
Do not have confidence in a friend.
From her who lies in your bosom
Guard [a]your lips.

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.
