⁶ For a fool speaks folly,
    and his mind^[a] does iniquity:
to behave wickedly,^[b]
    and to speak error concerning Yahweh,
to leave the throat of the hungry empty,
    and he deprives the thirsty of drink.
⁷ And a scoundrel, his weapons are evil;
    he plans evil devices
to ruin the poor with words of deception
    even^[c] when the speech of the needy is right.
⁸ But^[d] the nobleman plans noble things,
    and he stands upon noble things.
