³ Then ^(A)the eyes of those who see will not be ^[a]blinded,
And the ears of those who hear will pay attention.
⁴ And the heart of the ^(B)hasty will discern knowledge,
And the tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak clearly.
⁵ No longer will the ^(C)wicked fool be called noble,
Or the rogue be spoken of as generous.
⁶ For a wicked fool speaks wicked folly,
And his heart ^(D)does wickedness:
To do ^(E)ungodliness and to speak error against Yahweh,
In order to ^(F)make the hungry person empty;
He even causes the thirsty to lack a drink.
⁷ As for a rogue, his weapons are evil;
He ^(G)counsels wicked schemes
To ^(H)wreak destruction on the afflicted with lying words,
^(I)Even though the needy one speaks justly.
⁸ But ^(J)the noble man counsels noble plans;
And by noble plans he rises up.
