4. The best among them is like a brier,the most upright among them a bramble;the day of your watchmen,of your punishment, has come;now their confusion is at hand.
5. Do not trust in a companion,do not rely on a friend;from her who lies in your embrace,guard the doors of your mouth.
6. For the son dishonors the father,the daughter rises up against her mother,the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—the enemies of a man are members of his own household.
7. But as for me, I watch for the Lord;I await the God of my salvation;my God will hear me.
8. Do not rejoice over me, my enemy!Although I have fallen, I will rise;although I dwell in darkness,the Lord is my light.
