5 Do not trust a neighbor;

put no confidence in a friend.

Even with the woman who lies in your embrace

guard the words of your lips.

5 Trust ye not in a friend,

Put ye not confidence in a guide:

Keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.

5 Don’t trust anyone—

not your best friend or even your wife!

5 Do not trust in a friend;

Do not put your confidence in a companion;

Guard the doors of your mouth

From her who lies in your bosom.

5 Don’t believe your neighbor

or trust a friend.

Don’t say anything,

even to your wife.

5 Trust ye not in a neighbor; put ye not confidence in a friend; keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.

5 Believe ye not in a companion, put not confidence in a familiar friend: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.

5 Don’t trust your neighbors. 

Don’t have confidence in ⸤your⸥ friends. 

Keep your mouth shut even when a woman is lying in your arms. 

5 Do not rely on a friend;

don’t trust in a close companion.

Seal your mouth

from the woman who lies in your arms.

5 Put no trust in a friend,

have no confidence in a loved one;

guard the doors of your mouth

from her who lies in your embrace;

5 Do not put faith in a friend;

put no trust in a close friend.

Guard the doorways of your mouth

from the one who lies in your lap.

5 Don’t trust your neighbors.

Don’t put your faith in your friends.

Be careful of what you say

even to your own wife.

5 Do not trust in a neighbor;

Do not have confidence in a friend.

From her who lies in your bosom

Guard your lips.
