²¹ "Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.

⁵ Don't trust in a neighbor. Don't put confidence in a friend. With the woman lying in your embrace, Be careful of the words of your mouth!

⁶ For the son dishonors the father, The daughter rises up against her mother, The daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; A man's enemies are the men of his own house.

¹⁶ You will be handed over even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends. Some of you they will cause to be put to death.

¹⁷ You will be hated by all men for my name's sake.

⁵¹ Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.

⁵² For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

⁵³ They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."

¹² "Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.

¹³ You will be hated by all men for my name's sake, but he who endures to the end, the same will be saved.

³⁴ "Don't think that I came to send peace on the earth. I didn't come to send peace, but a sword.

³⁵ For I came to set a man at odds against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

³⁶ A man's foes will be those of his own household.

³ It will happen that, when anyone still prophesies, then his father and his mother who bore him will tell him, 'You must die, because you speak lies in the name of Yahweh;' and his father and his mother who bore him will stab him when he prophesies.

¹ Moreover Ahithophel said to Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night:

² and I will come on him while he is weary and weak-handed, and will make him afraid; and all the people who are with him shall flee; and I will strike the king only;

³ and I will bring back all the people to you: the man whom you seek is as if all returned: [so] all the people shall be in peace.

⁴ The saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel.

¹⁰ Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.

¹¹ David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, who came forth from my bowels, seeks my life: how much more [may] this Benjamite now [do it]? let him alone, and let him curse; for Yahweh has invited him.

¹⁹ All my familiar friends abhor me. They whom I loved have turned against me.
