5. Don’t trust your neighbors.Don’t have confidence in ⌊your⌋ friends.Keep your mouth shut even when a woman is lying in your arms.
6. A son treats his father with contempt.A daughter rebels against her mother.A daughter-in-law rebels against her mother-in-law.People’s enemies are the members of their own families.
7. I will look to the Lord.I will wait for God to save me.I will wait for my God to listen to me.
8. Don’t laugh at me, my enemies.Although I’ve fallen, I will get up.Although I sit in the dark, the Lord is my light.
9. I have sinned against the Lord.So I will endure his furyuntil he takes up my cause and wins my case.He will bring me into the light,and I will see his victory.
10. Then my enemies will see this, and they will be covered with shame,because they asked me, “Where is the Lord your God?”Now I look at them.They are trampled like mud in the streets.
11. The day for rebuilding your wallsand extending your borders is coming.
12. When that day comes, your people will come to youfrom Assyria and the cities of Egypt,from Egypt to the Euphrates River,from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
13. The earth will become a wasteland for those who live on itbecause of what the people living there have done.
14. With your shepherd’s staff, take care of your people,the sheep that belong to you.They live alone in the woods, in fertile pastures.Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead like before.
