3. Then the eyes of those who see will not be closed,and the ears of those who hear will listen.
4. The reckless mind will gain knowledge,and the stammering tongue will speak clearly and fluently.
5. A fool will no longer be called a noble, nor a scoundrel said to be important.
6. For a fool speaks foolishnessand his mind plots iniquity.He lives in a godless wayand speaks falsely about the Lord.He leaves the hungry emptyand deprives the thirsty of drink.
7. The scoundrel’s weapons are destructive;he hatches plots to destroy the needy with lies,even when the poor says what is right.
8. But a noble person plans noble things;he stands up for noble causes.
9. Stand up, you complacent women; listen to me.Pay attention to what I say,you overconfident daughters.
10. In a little more than a yearyou overconfident ones will shudder,for the vintage will failand the harvest will not come.
