Micah 4:5

4:5 Though all the nations follow their respective gods, ¹ 

we will follow ²  the Lord our God forever.

Micah 7:5

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! ³ 

[4:5]  ¹ tn Heb “walk each in the name of his god.” The term “name” here has the idea of “authority.” To “walk in the name” of a god is to recognize the god’s authority as binding over one’s life.

[4:5]  ² tn Heb “walk in the name of.”

[7:5]  ³ tn Heb “from the one who lies in your arms, guard the doors of your mouth.”
