³ Then the eyes of those who see will see indeed,
    and the ears of those who hear will listen.
⁴ Careless and impulsive minds will take time to really understand,
    and clear speech will return to the shy stutterer.
⁵ Fools will no longer be called noble-minded,
    nor will criminals be respected.
⁶ For fools utter nonsense, and their minds are preoccupied with evil;
    they regularly misrepresent the Eternal in what they say and do,
Leaving true seekers frustrated and confused,
    the hungry with empty stomachs and the thirsty with parched mouths.
⁷ As for the criminals—their schemes are vile and evil;
    they are constantly looking for ways to hurt the innocent,
To ruin the poor with their lies, and to twist a justified complaint.
⁸ By contrast, those who are noble have noble intentions,
    and they stand confidently by their honorable words and actions.
