5. Put no trust in a neighbor;have no confidence in a friend;guard the doors of your mouthfrom her who lies in your arms;
6. for the son treats the father with contempt,the daughter rises up against her mother,the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.
7. But as for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation;my God will hear me.
8. Rejoice not over me, O my enemy; when I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in darkness,the Lord will be a light to me.
9. I will bear the indignation of the Lordbecause I have sinned against him,until he pleads my causeand executes judgment for me. He will bring me out to the light;I shall look upon his vindication.
10. Then my enemy will see,and shame will cover her who said to me,“Where is the Lord your God?” My eyes will look upon her;now she will be trampled down like the mire of the streets.
11. A day for the building of your walls!In that day the boundary shall be far extended.
12. In that day they will come to you, from Assyria and the cities of Egypt,and from Egypt to the River, from sea to sea and from mountain to mountain.
13. But the earth will be desolatebecause of its inhabitants,for the fruit of their deeds.
14. Shepherd your people with your staff,the flock of your inheritance,who dwell alone in a forest in the midst of a garden land;let them graze in Bashan and Gileadas in the days of old.
