3. People are good at doing evil with both hands.Rulers ask for money.And judges’ decisions are bought for a price.Rich people make their wishes known.They all join in their evil plans.
4. Even the best of them is like a thornbush.Even the nicest of them is worse than a thornbush.Your watchmen warned you about this day.Now it has come.Now you will be punished.Your punishment will amaze you.
5. Don’t trust your neighbor.Don’t even trust a friend.Be careful what you say,even to your wife.
6. A son will not honor his father.A daughter will turn against her mother.A daughter-in-law will fight with her mother-in-law.A person’s enemies will be members of his own family.
7. Israel says, “I will look to the Lord for help.I will wait for God to save me.My God will hear me.
8. Enemy, don’t laugh at me.I have fallen, but I will get up again.I sit in the shadow of trouble now.But the Lord will be a light for me.
