5. The foolish person shall be no more called noble, nor the miser said to be bountiful.
6. For the foolish person will speak foolishness, and his heart will work iniquity, to practice hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7. The schemes also of the schemer are evil: he devises wicked plans to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaks justly.
8. But the noble plans noble things; and by noble things shall he stand.
9. Rise up, you women that are at ease; hear my voice, you complacent daughters; give ear unto my speech.
10. In a little more than a year shall you be troubled, you complacent women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.
11. Tremble, you women that are at ease; be troubled, you complacent ones: strip yourselves, and make yourselves bare, and gird sackcloth upon your waists.
12. Beat upon your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
