The foolish person will no longer be called [a]generous,
Nor the miser said to be bountiful;
For the foolish person will speak foolishness,
And his heart will work (A)iniquity:
To practice ungodliness,
To utter error against the Lord,

To destroy the poor with (B)lying words,
Even when the needy speaks justice.
