Isaiah 32:6-8

Complete Jewish Bible

⁶ for the mean person will speak meanness,
his heart planning evil, so that he can act godlessly,
spreading error concerning Adonai,
as he lets the hungry go on starving
and deprives the thirsty of drink.
⁷ The mean person’s means are mean —
he devises wicked devices
to ruin the poor and needy with lies,
even when their cause is just.
⁸ But the generous person devises generous things,
and his generosity will keep him standing.
