A Reign of Righteousness
2 A man will be as a hiding place from the wind,
And a1a cover from the tempest,
As rivers of water in a dry place,
As the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.

4 Also the heart of the1 rash will aunderstand knowledge,
And the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly.
And the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly.
6 For the foolish person will speak foolishness,
And his heart will work ainiquity:
To practice ungodliness,
To utter error against the Lord,
To keep the hungry unsatisfied,
And he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.

7 Also the schemes of the schemer are evil;
He devises wicked plans
To destroy the poor with alying words,
Even when the needy speaks justice.

Consequences of Complacency
10 In a year and some days
You will be troubled, you complacent women;
For the vintage will fail,
The gathering will not come.

For the vintage will fail,
The gathering will not come.
