Don’t trust your neighbors.
    Don’t put your faith in your friends.
Be careful what you say
    even to your own wife.
Sons don’t honor their fathers.
    Daughters refuse to obey their mothers.
Daughters-in-law are against their mothers-in-law.
    A man’s enemies are the members of his own family.

But I will look to the Lord.
    I’ll put my trust in God my Savior.
    He will hear me.

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)
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
    a man’s enemies are the members of his own household.(C)

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.
