Micah 7:4-11
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 7
4
The best of them is like a thorn bush,
The most upright like a thorn hedge.
The day when you post your watchmen,
Your punishment is coming.
Then their confusion will occur.
5
Do not trust in a neighbor;
Do not have confidence in a close friend.
Guard your lips
From her who lies in your arms.
6
For son disavows father,
Daughter rises up against her mother,
Daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
A person’s enemies are the people of his own household.
7
But as for me, I will be on the watch for the
Lord
;
I will wait for the God of my salvation.
My God will hear me.
8
Do not rejoice over me, enemy of mine.
Though I fall I will rise;
Though I live in darkness, the
Lord
is a light for me.
9
I will endure the rage of the
Lord
Because I have sinned against Him,
Until He pleads my case and executes justice for me.
He will bring me out to the light,
And
I will look at His righteousness.
10
Then my enemy will see,
And shame will cover her who said to me,
'Where is the
Lord
your God?'
My eyes will look at her;
At that time she will be trampled down
Like mud of the streets.
11
It will be
a day for building your walls.
On that day
your
boundary will be extended.
King James Version
Chapter 7
4
The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity.
5
Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
6
For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
7
Therefore I will look unto the
Lord
; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
8
Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the
Lord
shall be a light unto me.
9
I will bear the indignation of the
Lord
, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.
10
Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is the
Lord
thy God? mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
11
In the day that thy walls are to be built, in that day shall the decree be far removed.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 7
4
The best of them is like a brier;
the most upright is worse than a hedge of thorns.
The day of your watchmen,
the day of your punishment, is coming;
at this time their panic is here.
5
Do not rely on a friend;
don’t trust in a close companion.
Seal your mouth
from the woman who lies in your arms.
6
Surely a son considers his father a fool,
a daughter opposes her mother,
and a daughter-in-law is against her mother-in-law;
a man’s enemies are the men of his own household.
7
But I will look to the
Lord
;
I will wait for the God of my salvation.
My God will hear me.
8
Do not rejoice over me, my enemy!
Though I have fallen, I will stand up;
though I sit in darkness,
the
Lord
will be my light.
9
Because I have sinned against him,
I must endure the
Lord
’s rage
until he champions my cause
and establishes justice for me.
He will bring me into the light;
I will see his salvation.
10
Then my enemy will see,
and she will be covered with shame,
the one who said to me,
"Where is the
Lord
your God?"
My eyes will look at her in triumph;
at that time she will be trampled
like mud in the streets.
11
A day will come for rebuilding your walls;
on that day your boundary will be extended.
New Living Translation
Chapter 7
4
Even the best of them is like a brier;
the most honest is as dangerous as a hedge of thorns.
But your judgment day is coming swiftly now.
Your time of punishment is here, a time of confusion.
5
Don’t trust anyone —
not your best friend or even your wife!
6
For the son despises his father.
The daughter defies her mother.
The daughter-in-law defies her mother-in-law.
Your enemies are right in your own household!
7
As for me, I look to the
Lord
for help.
I wait confidently for God to save me,
and my God will certainly hear me.
8
Do not gloat over me, my enemies!
For though I fall, I will rise again.
Though I sit in darkness,
the
Lord
will be my light.
9
I will be patient as the
Lord
punishes me,
for I have sinned against him.
But after that, he will take up my case
and give me justice for all I have suffered from my enemies.
The
Lord
will bring me into the light,
and I will see his righteousness.
10
Then my enemies will see that the
Lord
is on my side.
They will be ashamed that they taunted me, saying,
'So where is the
Lord
—
that God of yours?'
With my own eyes I will see their downfall;
they will be trampled like mud in the streets.
11
In that day, Israel, your cities will be rebuilt,
and your borders will be extended.
English Standard Version
Chapter 7
4
The best of them is like a brier,
the most upright of them a thorn hedge.
The day of your watchmen, of your punishment, has come;
now their confusion is at hand.
5
Put no trust in a neighbor;
have no confidence in a friend;
guard the doors of your mouth
from her who lies in your arms;
6
for the son treats the father with contempt,
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.
7
But as for me, I will look to the
Lord
;
I will wait for the God of my salvation;
my God will hear me.
8
Rejoice not over me, O my enemy;
when I fall, I shall rise;
when I sit in darkness,
the
Lord
will be a light to me.
9
I will bear the indignation of the
Lord
because I have sinned against him,
until he pleads my cause
and executes judgment for me.
He will bring me out to the light;
I shall look upon his vindication.
10
Then my enemy will see,
and shame will cover her who said to me,
"Where is the
Lord
your God?"
My eyes will look upon her;
now she will be trampled down
like the mire of the streets.
11
A day for the building of your walls!
In that day the boundary shall be far extended.
New International Version
Chapter 7
4
The best of them is like a brier,
the most upright worse than a thorn hedge.
The day God visits you has come,
the day your watchmen sound the alarm.
Now is the time of your confusion.
5
Do not trust a neighbor;
put no confidence in a friend.
Even with the woman who lies in your embrace
guard the words of your lips.
6
For a son dishonors his father,
a daughter rises up against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
a man’s enemies are the members of his own household.
7
But as for me, I watch in hope for the
Lord
,
I wait for God my Savior;
my God will hear me.
8
Do not gloat over me, my enemy!
Though I have fallen, I will rise.
Though I sit in darkness,
the
Lord
will be my light.
9
Because I have sinned against him,
I will bear the
Lord
’s wrath,
until he pleads my case
and upholds my cause.
He will bring me out into the light;
I will see his righteousness.
10
Then my enemy will see it
and will be covered with shame,
she who said to me,
"Where is the
Lord
your God?"
My eyes will see her downfall;
even now she will be trampled underfoot
like mire in the streets.
11
The day for building your walls will come,
the day for extending your boundaries.
New King James Version
Chapter 7
4
The best of them
is
like a brier;
The most upright
is sharper
than a thorn hedge;
The day of your watchman and your punishment comes;
Now shall be their perplexity.
5
Do not trust in a friend;
Do not put your confidence in a companion;
Guard the doors of your mouth
From her who lies in your bosom.
6
For son dishonors father,
Daughter rises against her mother,
Daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
A man’s enemies
are
the men of his own household.
7
Therefore I will look to the
Lord
;
I will wait for the God of my salvation;
My God will hear me.
8
Do not rejoice over me, my enemy;
When I fall, I will arise;
When I sit in darkness,
The
Lord
will be
a light to me.
9
I will bear the indignation of the
Lord
,
Because I have sinned against Him,
Until He pleads my case
And executes justice for me.
He will bring me forth to the light;
I will see His righteousness.
10
Then
she who is
my enemy will see,
And shame will cover her who said to me,
“Where is the
Lord
your God?”
My eyes will see her;
Now she will be trampled down
Like mud in the streets.
11
In
the day when your walls are to be built,
In
that day the decree shall go far and wide.
