Unchecked Copy BoxMic 7:4 - The best of them is like a thorn; the most godly among them are more dangerous than a row of thorn bushes. The day you try to avoid by posting watchmen - your appointed time of punishment - is on the way, and then you will experience confusion.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 7:5 - Do not rely on a friend; do not trust a companion! Don't even share secrets with the one who lies in your arms!
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 7:6 - For a son thinks his father is a fool, a daughter challenges her mother, and a daughter-in-law her mother-in-law; a man's enemies are his own servants.

Unchecked Copy BoxMic 7:10 - When my enemies see this, they will be covered with shame. They say to me, "Where is the LORD your God?" I will gloat over them. Then they will be trampled down like mud in the streets.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 7:11 - It will be a day for rebuilding your walls; in that day your boundary will be extended.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 7:12 - In that day people will come to you from Assyria as far as Egypt, from Egypt as far as the Euphrates River, from the seacoasts and the mountains.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 7:13 - The earth will become desolate because of what its inhabitants have done.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 7:14 - Shepherd your people with your shepherd's rod, the flock that belongs to you, the one that lives alone in a thicket, in the midst of a pastureland. Allow them to graze in Bashan and Gilead, as they did in the old days.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 7:15 - "As in the days when you departed from the land of Egypt, I will show you miraculous deeds."
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 7:16 - Nations will see this and be disappointed by all their strength, they will put their hands over their mouths, and act as if they were deaf.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 7:17 - They will lick the dust like a snake, like serpents crawling on the ground. They will come trembling from their strongholds to the LORD our God; they will be terrified of you.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 7:18 - There is no other God like you! You forgive sin and pardon the rebellion of those who remain among your people. You do not remain angry forever, but delight in showing loyal love.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 7:19 - You will once again have mercy on us; you will conquer our evil deeds; you will hurl our sins into the depths of the sea.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 7:20 - You will be loyal to Jacob and extend your loyal love to Abraham, which you promised on oath to our ancestors in ancient times.
