3 Then the eyes of those who see will not be blinded, And the ears of those who hear will listen.
4 The mind of the hasty will discern the truth, And the tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak clearly.
5 No longer will the fool be called noble, Or the rogue be spoken of as generous.
6 For a fool speaks nonsense, And his heart inclines toward wickedness: To practice ungodliness and to speak error against the Lord, To keep the hungry person unsatisfied And to withhold drink from the thirsty.
7 As for a rogue, his weapons are evil; He devises wicked schemes To destroy the afflicted with slander, Even though the needy one speaks what is right.
8 But the noble man devises noble plans; And by noble plans he stands.
9 Rise up, you women who are at ease, And hear my voice; Give ear to my word, You complacent daughters.
