Micah 7:3-7

7:3

That they may do evil
<07451>

with both hands
<03709>

earnestly
<03190> (8687)_,

the prince
<08269>

asketh
<07592> (8802)_,

and the judge
<08199> (8802)

[asketh] for a reward
<07966>_;

and the great
<01419>

[man], he uttereth
<01696> (8802)

his mischievous
<01942>

desire
<05315>_:

so they wrap it up
<05686> (8762)_.

{his...: Heb. the mischief of his soul}

7:4

The best
<02896>

of them [is] as a brier
<02312>_:

the most upright
<03477>

[is sharper] than a thorn hedge
<04534>_:

the day
<03117>

of thy watchmen
<06822> (8764)

[and] thy visitation
<06486>

cometh
<0935> (8804)_;

now shall be their perplexity
<03998>_.

7:5

Trust
<0539> (8686)

ye not in a friend
<07453>_,

put ye not confidence
<0982> (8799)

in a guide
<0441>_:

keep
<08104> (8798)

the doors
<06607>

of thy mouth
<06310>

from her that lieth
<07901> (8802)

in thy bosom
<02436>_.

7:6

For the son
<01121>

dishonoureth
<05034> (8764)

the father
<01>_,

the daughter
<01323>

riseth up
<06965> (8801)

against her mother
<0517>_,

the daughter in law
<03618>

against her mother in law
<02545>_;

a man's
<0376>

enemies
<0341> (8802)

[are] the men
<0582>

of his own house
<01004>_.

7:7

Therefore I will look
<06822> (8762)

unto the LORD
<03068>_;

I will wait
<03176> (8686)

for the God
<0430>

of my salvation
<03468>_:

my God
<0430>

will hear
<08085> (8799)

me.
