Don’t trust your neighbors.
    Don’t have confidence in your friends.
    Keep your mouth shut even when a woman is lying in your arms.
A son treats his father with contempt.
    A daughter rebels against her mother.
    A daughter-in-law rebels against her mother-in-law.
    People’s enemies are the members of their own families.

I will look to Yahweh.
    I will wait for Elohim to save me.
    I will wait for my Elohim to listen to 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.
