Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ they are preparing their hands for evil. The chief asketh and the judge hath spoken words of peace! He is entirely at his devotion; ⁴ therefore I will take away their good things, like a consuming moth advancing regularly in the clay of visitation. [p] Alas! alas! thy punishments are come; now will their lamentations be;" ⁵ Trust not in friends, nor confide in rulers, against the wife of thy bosom be on thy guard; to trust nothing to her: ⁶ for a son dishonoureth a father; a daughter will rise up against her mother; a daughter in law against her mother in law; all a man's household are his enemies." ⁷ [c] But as for me I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God who is my saviour; he who is my God will hearken to me. [[c] The chorus, or Sion.]
