6For the fool will speak folly, and his heart will work iniquity, to practice profanity, and to utter error against Yahweh, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7The instruments of the churl are evil: he devises wicked devices to destroy the humble with lying words, even when the needy speaks right.
8But the noble devises noble things; and in noble things shall he continue.
9Rise up, you women who are at ease, [and] hear my voice; you careless daughters, give ear to my speech.
10For days beyond a year shall you be troubled, you careless women; for the vintage shall fail, the harvest shall not come.
11Tremble, you women who are at ease; be troubled, you careless ones; strip you, and make you bare, and gird [sackcloth] on your loins.
12They shall strike on the breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
