King James Bible - Micah 7:5

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.

World English Bible

Don't trust in a neighbor. Don't put confidence in a friend. With the woman lying in your embrace, be careful of the words of your mouth!

Douay-Rheims - Micah 7:5

Believe not a friend, and trust not in a prince: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that sleepeth in thy bosom.

Webster's Bible Translation

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.

Original Hebrew

SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:5

No creáis en amigo, ni confiéis en príncipe; de la que duerme a tu lado, guarda, no abras tu boca.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Micah 7:5

Verse 5.
Trust ye not in a friend] These times will be so evil, and the people so wicked, that all bonds will be dissolved; and even the most intimate will betray each other, when they can hope to serve themselves by it.

On this passage, in the year 1798, I find I have written as follows:- "Trust ye not in a friend. - Several of those whom I have delighted to call by that name have deceived me.

"Put ye not confidence in a guide. - Had I followed some of these I should have gone to perdition.

"Keep the door of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. - My wife alone never deceived me." It is now twenty-seven years since, and I find no cause to alter what I then wrote.


John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 5. Trust ye not in a friend , etc.] This is not said to lessen the value of friendship; or to discourage the cultivation of it with agreeable persons; or to dissuade from a confidence in a real friend; or in the least to weaken it, and damp the pleasure of true friendship, which is one of the great blessings of life; but to set forth the sad degeneracy of the then present age, that men, who pretended to be friends, were so universally false and faithless, that there was no dependence to be had on them: put ye not confidence in a guide ; in political matters, in civil affairs, as civil magistrates, judges, counsellors; or in domestic matters. The Targum renders it, in one near akin. Kimchi interprets it of an elder brother; and Aben Ezra of a husband, who is to his wife the guide of her youth; and in religious matters as prophets, priests who were false and deceitful. It may design a very intimate friend, a familiar acquaintance, who might of all men be thought to be confided in; of whom the word is used, ( Psalm 55:13); keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom ; from a wife, and much more from a concubine or harlot. The Targum is, “from the wife of thy covenant keep the words of thy mouth;” divulge not the thoughts of thine heart, or disclose the secrets of it, to one so near; take care of speaking treason against the prince, or ill of a neighbour; it may be got out of such an one, and who may be so base as to betray it: or utter not anything whatever that is secret, the divulging of which may be detrimental; for, in such an age as this was, one in so near a relation might be wicked enough to discover it; (see Ecclesiastes 10:20).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-7 - The
prophet bemoans himself that he lived among a people ripening apac for ruin, in which many good persons would suffer. Men had no comfort no satisfaction in their own families or in their nearest relations Contempt and violation of domestic duties are a sad symptom of universal corruption. Those are never likely to come to good who ar undutiful to their parents. The prophet saw no safety or comfort but in looking to the Lord, and waiting on God his salvation. When unde trials, we should look continually to our Divine Redeemer, that we ma have strength and grace to trust in him, and to be examples to thos around us.
