No longer will the (A)wicked fool be called noble,
Or the rogue be spoken of as generous.
For a wicked fool speaks wicked folly,
And his heart (B)does wickedness:
To do (C)ungodliness and to speak error against Yahweh,
In order to (D)make the hungry person empty;

To (F)wreak destruction on the afflicted with lying words,
(G)Even though the needy one speaks justly.
