3 And the eyes of those who see are not dim, and the ears of those who hear listen.
4 And the heart of the rash understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers hurries to speak plainly.
5 A fool is no longer called noble, nor the scoundrel said to be respectable;
6 for a fool speaks folly, and his heart works wickedness: to practise filthiness, and to speak against יהוה that which misleads, to starve the being of the hungry, and to withhold the drink from the thirsty.
7 And the methods of the scoundrel are evil – he has devised wicked plans to destroy the poor with words of falsehood, even when the needy pleads for right-ruling.
8 But the generous one devises what is generous, and by generous deeds he rises up.
9 Rise up, you women who are at ease, hear my voice; rise up you complacent daughters, listen to my speech.
