7:5 Do not rely on a friend;
do not trust a companion!
Don’t even share secrets with the one who lies in your arms! 1
7:6 For a son thinks his father is a fool,
a daughter challenges 2 her mother,
and a daughter-in-law her mother-in-law;
a man’s enemies are his own servants. 3
1 tn Heb “from the one who lies in your arms, guard the doors of your mouth.”
2 tn Heb “rises up against.”
3 tn Heb “the enemies of a man are the men of his house.”
