2 Each one will be like a shelter from the windand a refuge from the storm,like streams of water in the desertand the shadow of a great rock in a parched land.
3 Then everyone who has eyes will be able to see the truth,and everyone who has ears will be able to hear it.
4 Even the hotheads will be full of sense and understanding.Those who stammer will speak out plainly.
5 In that day ungodly fools will not be heroes.Scoundrels will not be respected.
6 For fools speak foolishnessand make evil plans.They practice ungodlinessand spread false teachings about the lord.They deprive the hungry of foodand give no water to the thirsty.
7 The smooth tricks of scoundrels are evil.They plot crooked schemes.They lie to convict the poor,even when the cause of the poor is just.
8 But generous people plan to do what is generous,and they stand firm in their generosity.
