“The best of them is like a brier.The most upright is worse than a thorn hedge.The day of your watchmen,even your visitation, has come;now is the time of their confusion.”
Micah 7:4 (WEB)
Context Reading
2The godly man has perished out of the earth,and there is no one upright among men.They all lie in wait for blood;every man hunts his brother with a net. 3Their hands are on that which is evil to do it diligently.The ruler and judge ask for a bribe.The powerful man dictates the evil desire of his soul.Thus they conspire together. 4The best of them is like a brier.The most upright is worse than a thorn hedge.The day of your watchmen,even your visitation, has come;now is the time of their confusion. 5Don’t trust in a neighbor.Don’t put confidence in a friend.With the woman lying in your embrace,be careful of the words of your mouth! 6For the son dishonors the father,the daughter rises up against her mother,the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.
