Isaiah 32:3-5
New English Translation
3 Eyes[a] will no longer be blind[b]
and ears[c] will be attentive.
4 The mind that acts rashly will possess discernment,[d]
and the tongue that stutters will speak with ease and clarity.
5 A fool will no longer be called honorable;
a deceiver will no longer be called principled.
