Micah 7:3-6

3 ^aTheir hands are on what is evil, to do it well;
^bthe prince and ^cthe 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 ^dlike a brier,
the most upright of them a thorn hedge.
The day of ^eyour watchmen, of your punishment, has come;
^fnow their confusion is at hand.
5 ^gPut no trust in a neighbor;
have no confidence in a friend;
guard ^hthe doors of your mouth
from her who lies in your arms; ^{▼▼Hebrew bosom}
6 for ^jthe son treats the father with contempt,
the daughter rises up against her mother,
the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
^ka man’s enemies are the men of his own house.
