Micah 7:5-7

Trust ye not in a friend This and the next verse are descriptive of a general corruption of manners; so that all ties and duties of consanguinity were trampled upon, or paid no regard to. The friend proved treacherous to his friend, the wife to her husband: children set at naught their parents, and a man's own family, or domestics, plotted his injury, or destruction, or acted as enemies toward him. Therefore will I look unto the Lord The church here expresses her confidence in God alone, since no trust could be placed in man. Or, they may be considered as the words of the prophet, and of those who feared God in Israel.
