Micah 7:4
Berean Standard Bible
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.
Context
2The godly man has perished from the earth;
there is no one upright among men.
They all lie in wait for blood;
they hunt one another with a net. 3Both hands are skilled at evil;
the prince and the judge demand a bribe.
When the powerful utters his evil desire,
they all conspire together. 4The 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. 5Do not rely on a friend;
do not trust in a companion.
Seal the doors of your mouth
from her who lies in your arms.* 6For 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.*
