Do not (A)trust in a neighbor;
Do not have confidence in a friend.
From her who lies in your bosom
Guard [a]your lips.
For (B)son treats father contemptuously,
Daughter rises up against her mother,
Daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
(C)A man’s enemies are the men of his own household.

God Is the Source of Salvation and Light

But as for me, I will (D)watch expectantly for the Lord;
I will (E)wait for the God of my salvation.
My (F)God will hear me.

  1. Micah 7:5 Lit openings of your mouth

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.
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)

But as for me, I watch(D) in hope(E) for the Lord,
    I wait for God my Savior;
    my God will hear(F) me.
