³ And the eyes of those who see will not gaze,^[a]
    and the ears of those who hear will listen.
⁴ And the minds^[b] of the rash will understand knowledge,^[c]
    and the tongues^[d] of stammerers will hasten to speak clearly.
⁵ A fool will no longer be called noble,
    and a scoundrel will not be said to be eminent.
⁶ For a fool speaks folly,
    and his mind^[e] does iniquity:
to behave wickedly,^[f]
    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^[g] when the speech of the needy is right.
⁸ But^[h] the nobleman plans noble things,
    and he stands upon noble things.
