⁸ I will instruct^(A) you and teach you^(B) in the way you should go;
    I will counsel you with my loving eye on^(C) you.
⁹ Do not be like the horse or the mule,
    which have no understanding
but must be controlled by bit and bridle^(D)
    or they will not come to you.

⁹ Not a word from their mouth can be trusted;
    their heart is filled with malice.
Their throat is an open grave;^(A)
    with their tongues they tell lies.^(B)
