New Testament

Micah 7:5-9 New Living Translation (NLT)

5. Don’t trust anyone—not your best friend or even your wife!

6. For the son despises his father.The daughter defies her mother.The daughter-in-law defies her mother-in-law.Your enemies are right in your own household!

7. As for me, I look to the lord for help.I wait confidently for God to save me,and my God will certainly hear me.

8. Do not gloat over me, my enemies!For though I fall, I will rise again.Though I sit in darkness,the lord will be my light.

9. I will be patient as the lord punishes me,for I have sinned against him.But after that, he will take up my caseand give me justice for all I have suffered from my enemies.The lord will bring me into the light,and I will see his righteousness.
