Micah 7:6 · American Standard Version

Micah 7:6 in context

  1. 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.
  2. 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!
  3. 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.
  4. 7But as for me, I will look to Yahweh.
    I will wait for the God of my salvation.
    My God will hear me.
  5. 8Don’t rejoice against me, my enemy.
    When I fall, I will arise.
    When I sit in darkness, Yahweh will be a light to me.
