For a wicked fool speaks wicked folly,
And his heart (A)does wickedness:
To do (B)ungodliness and to speak error against Yahweh,
In order to (C)make the hungry person empty;
He even causes the thirsty to lack a drink.
As for a rogue, his weapons are evil;

To (E)wreak destruction on the afflicted with lying words,

But (G)the noble man counsels noble plans;
And by noble plans he rises up.
