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.
8 An honorable man makes honorable plans;his honorable character gives him security.
9 You complacent women,get up and listen to me!You carefree daughters,pay attention to what I say!
10 In a year’s timeyou carefree ones will shake with fear,for the grape harvest will fail,and the fruit harvest will not arrive.
