The best of them is like a brier. The most upright is worse than a thorn hedge. The day of your watchmen, even your visitation, has come; now is the time of their confusion.

ગુજરાતીમીખાહ ૭:૪
તેઓમાંનો જે શ્રેષ્ઠ છે તે કાંટા ઝાંખરા જેવો છે; જે સૌથી વધારે પ્રામાણિક છે તે કાંટાની વાડ જેવો છે, તારા ચોકીદારે જણાવેલો દિવસ એટલે, તારી શિક્ષાનો દિવસ આવી ગયો છે. હવે તેઓની ગૂંચવણનો દિવસ આવી પહોંચ્યો છે.
हिन्दीमीका ७:४
उनमें से जो सबसे उत्तम है, वह कँटीली झाड़ी के समान दुःखदाई है, जो सबसे सीधा है, वह काँटेवाले बाड़े से भी बुरा है। तेरे पहरुओं का कहा हुआ दिन, अर्थात् तेरे दण्ड का दिन आ गया है। अब वे शीघ्र भ्रमित हो जाएँगे।

In context

2The godly man has perished out of the earth, and there is no one upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood; every man hunts his brother with a net.

3Their hands are on that which is evil to do it diligently. The ruler and judge ask for a bribe. The powerful man dictates the evil desire of his soul. Thus they conspire together.

4The best of them is like a brier. The most upright is worse than a thorn hedge. The day of your watchmen, even your visitation, has come; now is the time of their confusion.

5Don’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!

6For the son dishonors the father, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.
