Micah 7:5 in Context — Micah 7
3 Para completar la maldad con sus manos, el príncipe demanda, y el juez [juzga] por recompensa; y el grande habla el antojo de su alma, y lo confirman.
4 El mejor de ellos es como el cambrón; el más recto, [como] zarzal: el día de tus atalayas, tu visitación, viene; ahora será su confusión.
5 No creáis en amigo, ni confiéis en príncipe: de la que duerme á tu lado, guarda, no abras tu boca.
6 Porque el hijo deshonra al padre, la hija se levanta contra la madre, la nuera contra su suegra: y los enemigos del hombre son los de su casa.
7 Yo empero á Jehová esperaré, esperaré al Dios de mi salud: el Dios mío me oirá.
