5 Do not believe in a friend, do not trust in a prince; from her that lies at thy side, take care, open not thy mouth.
6 For the son dishonours the father, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man’s enemies are those of his own house.
7 Therefore I will wait for the Lord; I will wait for the God of my saving health; my God will hear me.
8 Do not rejoice against me, O my enemy; for if I have fallen, I shall arise; if I sit in darkness, the Lord is my light.
9 I will bear the indignation of the Lord because I have sinned against him, until he has judged my cause and executed my judgment; he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.
10 Then she that is my enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her who said unto me, Where is the Lord thy God? my eyes shall behold her: now she shall be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
11 In the day that thy walls shall be built unto thee, in that day shall the decree of thy slavery be far removed.
