Both hands are good(A) at accomplishing evil:
the official and the judge demand a bribe;(B)
when the powerful man communicates his evil desire,
they plot it together.
The best of them is like a brier;(C)
the most upright is worse than a hedge of thorns.(D)
The day of your watchmen,
the day of your punishment, is coming;(E)
at this time their panic is here.(F)
Do not rely on a friend;(G)
don’t trust in a close companion.
Seal your mouth
from the woman who lies in your arms.
Surely a son considers his father a fool,(H)
a daughter opposes her mother,
and a daughter-in-law is against her mother-in-law;
a man’s enemies are the men of his own household.
