8. I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.
9. Destroy, O Lord, and confuse their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
10. Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.
11. Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
12. For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
13. But it was you, a man my equal, my guide, and my close friend.
14. We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.
