“Don’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!”
Micah 7:5 (WEB)
Context Reading
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. 7But as for me, I will look to Yahweh.I will wait for the God of my salvation.My God will hear me.
