5 aDo not trust in a friend;
Do not put your confidence in a companion;
Guard the doors of your mouth
From her who lies in your bbosom.
Do not put your confidence in a companion;
Guard the doors of your mouth
From her who lies in your bbosom.
6 For ason dishonors father,
Daughter rises against her mother,
Daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
A man’s enemies are the men of his own household.
Daughter rises against her mother,
Daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
A man’s enemies are the men of his own household.
Israel’s Confession and Comfort
8 aDo not rejoice over me, my enemy;
bWhen I fall, I will arise;
When I sit in darkness,
The Lord will be a light to me.
bWhen I fall, I will arise;
When I sit in darkness,
The Lord will be a light to me.
9 aI will bear the indignation of the Lord,
Because I have sinned against Him,
Until He pleads my bcase
And executes justice for me.
He will bring me forth to the light;
I will see His righteousness.
Because I have sinned against Him,
Until He pleads my bcase
And executes justice for me.
He will bring me forth to the light;
I will see His righteousness.
