Micah 7:5

Next

Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.

Trust {H539} ye not in a friend {H7453}, put ye not confidence {H982} in a guide {H441}: keep {H8104} the doors {H6607} of thy mouth {H6310} from her that lieth {H7901} in thy bosom {H2436}.

Don't trust in your neighbor; don't put confidence in a close friend; shut the gates of your mouth even from [your wife], lying there with you in bed.

Do not rely on a friend; do not trust in a companion. Seal the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your arms.

Trust ye not in a neighbor; put ye not confidence in a friend; keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
