1See, a king will be ruling in righteousness, and chiefs will give right decisions.
2And a man will be as a safe place from the wind, and a cover from the storm; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shade of a great rock in a waste land.
3And the eyes of those who see will not be shut, and those who have hearing will give ear to the word.
4The man of sudden impulses will become wise in heart, and he whose tongue is slow will get the power of talking clearly.
5The foolish man will no longer be named noble, and they will not say of the false man that he is a man of honour.
6For the foolish man will say foolish things, having evil thoughts in his heart, working what is unclean, and talking falsely about the Lord, to keep food from him who is in need of it, and water from him whose soul is desiring it.
7The designs of the false are evil, purposing the destruction of the poor man by false words, even when he is in the right.
