4. The best of them is like a thorn;the most godly among them are more dangerous than a row of thorn bushes.The day you try to avoid by posting watchmen – your appointed time of punishment – is on the way,and then you will experience confusion.
5. Do not rely on a friend;do not trust a companion!Don’t even share secrets with the one who lies in your arms!
6. For a son thinks his father is a fool,a daughter challenges her mother,and a daughter-in-law her mother-in-law;a man’s enemies are his own servants.
7. But I will keep watching for the Lord;I will wait for the God who delivers me.My God will hear my lament.
