7:2 Faithful men have disappeared 1 from the land;
there are no godly men left. 2
They all wait in ambush so they can shed blood; 3
they hunt their own brother with a net. 4
7:6 For a son thinks his father is a fool,
a daughter challenges 5 her mother,
and a daughter-in-law her mother-in-law;
a man’s enemies are his own servants. 6
