Micah 7:5
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Do not rely on a friend; do not trust in a companion. Seal the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your arms.
In context
3 Both hands are skilled at evil; the prince and the judge demand a bribe. When the powerful utters his evil desire, they all conspire together.
4 The best of them is like a brier; the most upright is sharper than a hedge of thorns. The day for your watchmen has come, the day of your visitation. Now is the time of their confusion.
5 Do not rely on a friend; do not trust in a companion. Seal the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your arms.
6 For a son dishonors his father, a daughter rises against her mother, and 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 will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.
