³ Then the eyes of those who can see won’t turn away,
    and the ears of those who can hear will listen.
⁴ The hearts of reckless people will understand sound judgment,
    and the tongues of those who stammer will be ready to speak clearly.
⁵ People will no longer call a fool^[a] noble,
    nor will a bad person be declared honorable.
⁶ For fools utter contempt,
    and their minds plot^[b] wrong things:
practicing ungodliness,
    spreading lies about the Lord,
leaving the pangs of hungry people unsatisfied,
    and depriving thirsty people of drink.
⁷ Furthermore, the crimes of bad people are evil;
    and^[c] they devise wicked schemes,
destroying the poor^[d] with lying words,
    even when needy people plead^[e] a just cause.
⁸ But those who are decent plan noble things,
    and by noble deeds they stand.”
