⁷ The ·wicked person [scoundrel] uses evil ·like a tool [or schemes; methods].
    He plans ·ways [wicked schemes] to take everything from the poor.
He destroys the poor with lies,
    even when the ·poor person [needy] ·is in the right [^Lspeak justice].
⁸ But a ·good leader plans to do good [honorable/noble man plans honorable/noble things],
    and those ·good [honorable; noble] things make him ·a good leader [or stand firm].

⁹ You women who are ·calm [complacent] now,
    ·stand [rise] up and listen to ·me [^Lmy voice].
You ·women [^Ldaughters] who feel ·safe [secure; self-confident] now,
    hear what I say.
