    nor will criminals be respected.
For fools utter nonsense, and their minds are preoccupied with evil;
    they regularly misrepresent the Eternal in what they say and do,
Leaving true seekers frustrated and confused,
    the hungry with empty stomachs and the thirsty with parched mouths.

To ruin the poor with their lies, and to twist a justified complaint.
By contrast, those who are noble have noble intentions,
    and they stand confidently by their honorable words and actions.
