2 The faithful have vanished from the earth, no mortal is just! They all lie in wait to shed blood, each one ensnares the other.

3 Their hands succeed at evil; the prince makes demands, The judge is bought for a price, the powerful speak as they please.

4 The best of them is like a brier, the most honest like a thorn hedge. The day announced by your sentinels! Your punishment has come; now is the time of your confusion.

5 Put no faith in a friend, do not trust a companion; With her who lies in your embrace watch what you say.
