    Do not trust your neighbor or rely on a friend.
        Do not tell your secrets even to the spouse who shares your bed,
    For the son insults the father, the daughter rebels against the mother,
        and the daughter-in-law rises up against the mother-in-law.
    Your enemies can be found within your own household.

    But as for me, I will look to the Eternal One, and my hope is in the True God
        who will save me. My God 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.
