Micah 7:5

A church father on this verse
“(Verse 5-7) Your day of reckoning has come, your visitation is here. Now there will be destruction: do not trust your friend, and do not rely on your leader. Guard the doors of your mouth against the one who lies in your bosom; for a son insults his father, and a daughter rises up against her mother; a daughter-in-law…”

In context

3they prepare their hands for mischief, the prince asks a reward, and the judge speaks flattering words; it is the desire of their soul:

4therefore I will take away their goods as a devouring moth, and as one who acts by a rigid rule in a day of visitation. Woe, woe, thy times of vengeance are come; now shall be their lamentations.

— Micah 7:5 —

6For the son dishonors his father, the daughter will rise up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law: those in his house shall be all a man’s enemies.

7But I will look to the Lord; I will wait upon God my Savior: my God will hearken to me.
