Alertness » What to be aware of
Lo! I, send you forth as sheep amidst wolves; become ye therefore - prudent, as serpents, and simple, as doves. But beware of men; for they will deliver you up into high-councils, and, in their synagogues, will they scourge you, - And, before both governor and kings, shall ye be brought, for my sake - for a witness to them and the nations.
Every one, of his neighbour, beware ye, And in no brother, may ye trust, - For, every brother, supplanteth! And every neighbour, as a tale-bearer, goeth about; Yea, every one, of his neighbour, maketh a dupe, And, truth, they do not speak, - They have taught their tongue to speak falsehood, In acting perversely, they have wearied themselves. Thy dwelling, is in the midst of deceit, - Through deceit, have they rejected the knowledge of, me, Declareth Yahweh.
Beware of false prophets, who come unto you in clothing of sheep, - while, within, they are ravening wolves.
