10
For I heard the reproaches of many, and terror on every side: Persecute him, and let us persecute him: from all the men that were my familiars, and continued at my side: if by any means he may be deceived, and we may prevail against him, and be revenged on him.

English Translation
For I have heard the gossip of many; terror is all around. Declare it and we will declare it. Every man, let him guard his peace. Perhaps he will be enticed, and we may prevail against him and take our revenge from him.
