² They ^(A)speak worthlessness to one another;
With a ^(B)flattering lip and with a double heart they speak.

⁸ Their ^(A)tongue is a slaughtering arrow;
It speaks deceit;
With his mouth one ^(B)speaks peace to his neighbor,
But inwardly he ^(C)sets an ambush for him.

⁵ Do not ^(A)believe in a neighbor;
Do not have confidence in a close companion.
From her who lies in your bosom
Guard the openings of your mouth.
⁶ For ^(B)son treats father as a wicked fool;
Daughter rises up against her mother,
Daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
^(C)A man’s enemies are the men of his own household.
