Isaiah 32:3-8

Modern English Version

³ The eyes of those who see shall not be blinded,
    and the ears of those who hear shall listen.
⁴ The heart also of the hasty shall understand knowledge,
    and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
⁵ The vile person shall no more be called noble,
    nor the rogue be spoken of as generous;
⁶ for the vile person will speak nonsense,
    and his heart will work iniquity:
to practice hypocrisy
    and to utter error against the Lord,
to keep the hungry unsatisfied
    and to withhold drink from the thirsty.
⁷ The instruments also of the rogue are evil;
    he devises wicked schemes
to destroy the poor with lying words,
    even when the needy speaks right.
⁸ But the noble devises noble things,
    and by noble things he stands.
