7 A stupid person is evil and does evil things; he plots to ruin the poor with lies and to prevent them getting their rights.
8 But an honourable person acts honestly and stands firm for what is right.
9 You women who live an easy life, free from worries, listen to what I am saying.
10 You may be satisfied now, but this time next year you will be in despair because there will be no grapes for you to gather.
11 You have been living an easy life, free from worries; but now, tremble with fear! Strip off your clothes and tie rags round your waist.
12 Beat your breasts in grief because the fertile fields and the vineyards have been destroyed,
13 and thorn bushes and briars are growing on my people's land. Weep for all the houses where people were happy and for the city that was full of life.
