People who are afraid will know and understand.
    Tongues that stutter will speak clearly.
Foolish people won’t be considered noble anymore.
    Those who are worthless won’t be highly respected.

    They tell lies about the Lord.
They don’t give hungry people any food.
    They don’t let thirsty people have any water.
