6. For a fool speaks foolishnessand his mind plots iniquity.He lives in a godless wayand speaks falsely about the Lord.He leaves the hungry emptyand deprives the thirsty of drink.
7. The scoundrel’s weapons are destructive;he hatches plots to destroy the needy with lies,even when the poor says what is right.
8. But a noble person plans noble things;he stands up for noble causes.
9. Stand up, you complacent women; listen to me.Pay attention to what I say,you overconfident daughters.
10. In a little more than a yearyou overconfident ones will shudder,for the vintage will failand the harvest will not come.
11. Shudder, you complacent ones;tremble, you overconfident ones!Strip yourselves bare and put sackcloth around your waists.
12. Beat your breasts in mourning for the delightful fields and the fruitful vines,
