1. Look, a king will promote fairness;officials will promote justice.
2. Each of them will be like a shelter from the windand a refuge from a rainstorm;like streams of water in a dry regionand like the shade of a large cliff in a parched land.
3. Eyes will no longer be blindand ears will be attentive.
4. The mind that acts rashly will possess discernment and the tongue that stutters will speak with ease and clarity.
5. A fool will no longer be called honorable;a deceiver will no longer be called principled.
6. For a fool speaks disgraceful things;his mind plans out sinful deeds.He commits godless deedsand says misleading things about the Lord;he gives the hungry nothing to satisfy their appetiteand gives the thirsty nothing to drink.
7. A deceiver’s methods are evil;he dreams up evil plansto ruin the poor with lies,even when the needy are in the right.
