A fool says foolish things.
    And in his mind he plans to do evil things.
A fool wants to do things that are wrong.
    He says wrong things about the Lord.
A fool does not feed the hungry.
    He does not let thirsty people drink water.
The wicked man uses evil like a tool.
    He plans ways to take everything from poor people.
He destroys the poor with lies,
    even when the poor man is in the right.
But a good leader plans good things to do.
    And those good things make him a good leader.
