Do not trust a neighbor;
    put no confidence in a friend.(A)
Even with the woman who lies in your embrace
    guard the words of your lips.
For a son dishonors his father,
    a daughter rises up against her mother,(B)

But as for me, I watch(D) in hope(E) for the Lord,
    I wait for God my Savior;
    my God will hear(F) me.
