Isaiah 32:6-8

New International Reader's Version

⁶ Foolish people say foolish things.
    Their minds are set on doing evil things.
They don’t do what is right.
    They tell lies about the Lord.
They don’t give hungry people any food.
    They don’t let thirsty people have any water.
⁷ Those who are worthless use sinful methods.
    They make evil plans against poor people.
They destroy them with their lies.
    They do it even when those people are right.
⁸ But those who are noble make noble plans.
    And by doing noble things they succeed.
