SCRIPTURE

"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." — Micah 7:5 (ASV)

So saturated with dishonesty had the nation become that the evil had penetrated even into domestic life, with the result that, where all should have been in a state of mutual happy confidence, the prophet felt bound to tell them that such confidence could not exist between those who appeared to be friends, or even between husbands and wives.
