4
Take ye heed every one of his neighbour,a and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders.

For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the habitationsd of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can pass through them; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled; they are gone.
11
And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate,e without an inhabitant.

20
Yet hear the word of the LORD, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbour lamentation.
21
For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.
