Berean Standard Bible

Do not rely on a friend; do not trust in a companion. Seal the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your arms.*

Context

3Both hands are skilled at evil; the prince and the judge demand a bribe. When the powerful utters his evil desire, they all conspire together. 4The best of them is like a brier; the most upright is sharper than a hedge of thorns. The day for your watchmen has come, the day of your visitation.* Now is the time of their confusion. 5Do not rely on a friend; do not trust in a companion. Seal the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your arms.* 6For a son dishonors his father, a daughter rises against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. A man’s enemies are the members of his own household.* 7But as for me, I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.
