Isaiah 32:3-8

English Standard Version

^3 (A)Then the eyes of those who see will not be closed,
    and the ears of those who hear will give attention.
⁴ The heart of the hasty will understand and know,
    ^(B)and the tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak distinctly.
^5 (C)The fool will no more be called noble,
    nor the scoundrel said to be honorable.
⁶ For ^(D)the fool speaks folly,
    and his heart is busy with iniquity,
to practice ungodliness,
    to utter error concerning the Lord,
^(E)to leave the craving of the hungry unsatisfied,
    and to deprive the thirsty of drink.
⁷ As for the scoundrel—^(F)his devices are evil;
    he plans wicked schemes
to ruin the poor with lying words,
    even when the plea of the needy is right.
⁸ But he who is noble plans noble things,
    and on noble things he stands.
