5. Do not put faith in a friend; put no trust in a close friend. Guard the doorways of your mouth from the one who lies in your lap.
6. For a son treats a father with contempt; a daughter rises up against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; the enemies of a man are the men of his own house.
7. But as for me, I will look to Yahweh; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.
8. You should not rejoice over me, O my enemy! When I fall I will stand up; when I sit in darkness Yahweh will be a light for me.
9. I will bear the rage of Yahweh, for I have sinned against him, until he pleads my cause and executes my justice. He will bring me out to the light; I will see his righteousness.
10. Then my enemy will see, and shame will cover her who said to me, “Where is Yahweh your God?” My eyes will look upon her; now she will become a trampling place, like mud in the streets.
11. A day for building your walls; on that day he will extend your boundary.
12. On that day he will come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt to the River, and from sea to sea and mountain to mountain.
13. But the earth will be a desolation because of its inhabitants, for the fruit of their deeds.
14. Shepherd your people with your staff, the flock of your inheritance, those dwelling alone in a forest in the midst of Carmel. Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
15. As in the days when you came out from the land of Egypt I will show him wondrous things.
16. The nations will see and be ashamed because of all their might. They will lay the hand on the mouth; their ears will be deaf.
