Micah 7:3-6

English Standard Version

^3 (A)Their hands are on what is evil, to do it well;
    ^(B)the prince and ^(C)the judge ask for a bribe,
and the great man utters the evil desire of his soul;
    thus they weave it together.
⁴ The best of them is ^(D)like a brier,
    the most upright of them a thorn hedge.
The day of ^(E)your watchmen, of your punishment, has come;
    ^(F)now their confusion is at hand.
^5 (G)Put no trust in a neighbor;
    have no confidence in a friend;
guard ^(H)the doors of your mouth
    from her who lies in your arms;^[a]
6 for ^(I)the son treats the father with contempt,
    the daughter rises up against her mother,
the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
    ^(J)a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
