He who is foolish will no longer be called leader, nor will the deceitful be called greater.
For a foolish man speaks foolishness and his heart works iniquity in order to accomplish deception. And he speaks to the Lord deceitfully, so as to empty the soul of the hungry and to take away drink from the thirsty.
The tools of the deceitful are very wicked. For they have concocted plans to destroy the meek by lying words, though the poor speak judgment.
Yet truly, the prince will plan things that are worthy of a prince, and he will stand above the rulers.
You opulent women, rise up and listen to my voice! O confident daughters, play close attention to my eloquence!
For after a year and some days, you who are confident will be disturbed. For the vintage has been completed; the gathering will no longer occur.
Be stupefied, you opulent women! Be disturbed, O confident ones! Strip yourselves, and be confounded; gird yourselves at the waist.
