^5 (A)Do not trust in a friend;
Do not put your confidence in a companion;
Guard the doors of your mouth
From her who lies in your ^(B)bosom.

³ “And like their bow ^(B)they have bent their tongues for lies.
They are not valiant for the truth on the earth.
For they proceed from ^(C)evil to evil,
And they ^(D)do not know Me,” says the Lord.
⁴ “Everyone^(E) take heed to his ^[a]neighbor,
And do not trust any brother;
For every brother will utterly supplant,
And every neighbor will ^(F)walk with slanderers.
⁵ Everyone will ^(G)deceive his neighbor,
And will not speak the truth;
They have taught their tongue to speak lies;
They weary themselves to commit iniquity.

²⁸ A lying tongue hates those who are crushed by it,
And a flattering mouth works ^(A)ruin.

^14 (A)The mouth of an immoral woman is a deep pit;
^(B)He who is abhorred by the Lord will fall there.

^21 [a]With ^(A)her enticing speech she caused him to yield,
^(B)With her flattering lips she ^[b]seduced him.
