Verse 6

⁶They have no skill in the work, they are stiff, they are fools who think themselves learned; and, bewildered, they speak flattering words, greedy for that honeyed speech. ⁷By passion their plans are frightful. They are lustful, their anger like a snake's, they are false, full of themselves and wicked, and they laugh at those who are dear to the Unfallen. ⁸They talk to one another of blessings in houses given over to coupling, waiting on their women. They sacrifice where no food is handed out, no rule kept and no fee paid; and, not knowing what it is, they kill animals for a living. ⁹Blinded in mind by the pride that comes of wealth, greatness, birth, learning, giving, beauty, strength and deeds, these base men despise the good who are dear to Hari, and the Lord along with them.

¹⁰The Lord one should long for stands always in all who wear bodies, as the sky does, being the self. The Veda sings of him, and the unknowing do not listen; they go on talking of their daydreams.
