8 But a¹ generous man devises generous things,
And by generosity he shall stand. ‡

9 Rise up, you women ^awho are at ease,
Hear my voice;
You complacent daughters,
Give ear to my speech. ‡

11 Tremble, you women who are at ease;
Be troubled, you complacent ones;
Strip yourselves, make yourselves bare,
And gird sackcloth on your waists.

12 People shall mourn upon their breasts
For the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
