5 The fool will no more be called noble,nor the scoundrel said to be honorable.
6 For the fool speaks folly,and his heart is busy with iniquity,to practice ungodliness,to utter error concerning the Lord, to leave the craving of the hungry unsatisfied,and to deprive the thirsty of drink.
7 As for the scoundrel—his devices are evil;he plans wicked schemesto ruin the poor with lying words,even when the plea of the needy is right.
8 But he who is noble plans noble things,and on noble things he stands.
9 Rise up, you women who are at ease, hear my voice;you complacent daughters, give ear to my speech.
10 In little more than a yearyou will shudder, you complacent women;for the grape harvest fails,the fruit harvest will not come.
11 Tremble, you women who are at ease,shudder, you complacent ones; strip, and make yourselves bare, and tie sackcloth around your waist.
