My enemies are not the ones who sneer and make fun. I could put up with that or even hide from them.
Disappoint and confuse all who are glad to see me in trouble, but disgrace and embarrass my proud enemies who say to me, “You are nothing!”
I said, “Don't let them laugh or boast because I slip.”
My most trusted friend has turned against me, though he ate at my table.
King of Assyria, can an axe or a saw overpower the one who uses it? Can a wooden pole lift whoever holds it?
I am not talking about all of you. I know the ones I have chosen. But what the Scriptures say must come true. And they say, “The man who ate with me has turned against me!”
