Text -- Micah 7:1-6 (NET)
Strongs On/Off
Context
Micah Laments Judah’s Sin
7:1 I am depressed ! Indeed , it is as if the summer fruit has been gathered , and the grapes have been harvested . There is no grape cluster to eat , no fresh figs that I crave so much.
7:2 Faithful men have disappeared from the land ; there are no godly men left. They all wait in ambush so they can shed blood ; they hunt their own brother with a net .
7:3 They are determined to be experts at doing evil ; government officials and judges take bribes , prominent men make demands , and they all do what is necessary to satisfy them.
7:4 The best of them is like a thorn ; the most godly among them are more dangerous than a row of thorn bushes . The day you try to avoid by posting watchmen – your appointed time of punishment – is on the way , and then you will experience confusion .
7:5 Do not rely on a friend ; do not trust a companion ! Don’t even share secrets with the one who lies in your arms !
7:6 For a son thinks his father is a fool, a daughter challenges her mother , and a daughter-in-law her mother-in-law ; a man’s enemies are his own servants .
