“If you have run with infantrymen and they have tired you out,
How can you compete with horses?
If you fall down in a land of peace,
How will you do in the (A)thicket by the Jordan?
For even your (B)brothers and the household of your father,
Even they have dealt treacherously with you,
Even they have called aloud after you.
Do not believe them, though they say (C)nice things to you.”

10 For (A)I have heard the whispering of many,
(B)Terror on every side!
(C)Denounce him; let’s denounce him!”
[a]All my (D)trusted friends,
Watching for my fall, say:
“Perhaps he will be persuaded, so that we may (E)prevail against him
And take our revenge on him.”
