Isaiah 32:3-8

Common English Bible

³ Then the eyes of those who can see will no longer be blind,
    the ears of those who can hear will listen,
⁴     the minds of the rash will know and comprehend,
    and the tongues of those who stammer will speak fluently and plainly.
⁵ Then a fool will no longer be called honorable,
    nor a villain considered respectable.
⁶ Fools speak folly;
    their minds devise wickedness,
    acting irreverently,
    speaking falsely of the Lord,
    leaving the hungry empty,
    and depriving the thirsty of drink.
⁷ As for the villain, his villainies are evil.
    He plans schemes to destroy the poor with lying words,
    even when the needy speak justly.
⁸ But an honorable person plans honorable things
    and stands up for what is honorable.
