Isaiah 32:3-8
Legacy Standard Bible
3 Then (A)the eyes of those who see will not be [a]blinded,
And the ears of those who hear will pay attention.
4 And the heart of the (B)hasty will discern knowledge,
And the tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak clearly.
5 No longer will the (C)wicked fool be called noble,
Or the rogue be spoken of as generous.
6 For a wicked fool speaks wicked folly,
And his heart (D)does wickedness:
To do (E)ungodliness and to speak error against Yahweh,
In order to (F)make the hungry person empty;
He even causes the thirsty to lack a drink.
7 As for a rogue, his weapons are evil;
He (G)counsels wicked schemes
To (H)wreak destruction on the afflicted with lying words,
(I)Even though the needy one speaks justly.
8 But (J)the noble man counsels noble plans;
And by noble plans he rises up.

Isaiah 32:3-8
New Living Translation
3 Then everyone who has eyes will be able to see the truth,
and everyone who has ears will be able to hear it.
4 Even the hotheads will be full of sense and understanding.
Those who stammer will speak out plainly.
5 In that day ungodly fools will not be heroes.
Scoundrels will not be respected.
6 For fools speak foolishness
and make evil plans.
They practice ungodliness
and spread false teachings about the Lord.
They deprive the hungry of food
and give no water to the thirsty.
7 The smooth tricks of scoundrels are evil.
They plot crooked schemes.
They lie to convict the poor,
even when the cause of the poor is just.
8 But generous people plan to do what is generous,
and they stand firm in their generosity.
