10 Have we not all (A)one Father? Has not (B)one God created us? Why then are we (C)faithless to one another, profaning the covenant of our fathers?

(A)The godly has perished from the earth,
    and (B)there is no one upright among mankind;
(C)they all lie in wait for blood,
    and (D)each hunts the other with a net.
(E)Their hands are on what is evil, to do it well;
    (F)the prince and (G)the judge ask for a bribe,
and the great man utters the evil desire of his soul;
    thus they weave it together.
The best of them is (H)like a brier,
    the most upright of them a thorn hedge.
The day of (I)your watchmen, of your punishment, has come;
    (J)now their confusion is at hand.
(K)Put no trust in a neighbor;
    have no confidence in a friend;
guard (L)the doors of your mouth
    from her who lies in your arms;[a]
for (M)the son treats the father with contempt,
    the daughter rises up against her mother,
the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
    (N)a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
