Isaiah 32:3-8
New International Version
Isaiah 32:3-8
New International Version
3 Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed,(A)
and the ears(B) of those who hear will listen.
4 The fearful heart will know and understand,(C)
and the stammering tongue(D) will be fluent and clear.
5 No longer will the fool(E) be called noble
nor the scoundrel be highly respected.
6 For fools speak folly,(F)
their hearts are bent on evil:(G)
They practice ungodliness(H)
and spread error(I) concerning the Lord;
the hungry they leave empty(J)
and from the thirsty they withhold water.
7 Scoundrels use wicked methods,(K)
they make up evil schemes(L)
to destroy the poor with lies,
even when the plea of the needy(M) is just.(N)
8 But the noble make noble plans,
and by noble deeds(O) they stand.(P)

Isaiah 32:3-8
Holman Christian Standard Bible
3 Then the eyes of those who see will not be closed,
and the ears of those who hear will listen.(A)
4 The reckless mind will gain knowledge,
and the stammering tongue(B) will speak clearly and fluently.
5 A fool will no longer be called a noble,(C)
nor a scoundrel said to be important.
6 For a fool speaks foolishness
and his mind plots iniquity.
He lives in a godless way
and speaks falsely about the Lord.
He leaves the hungry empty
and deprives the thirsty of drink.(D)
7 The scoundrel’s weapons are destructive;
he hatches plots to destroy the needy with lies,
even when the poor says what is right.
8 But a noble person plans noble things;
he stands up for noble causes.
Isaiah 32:3-8
King James Version
Isaiah 32:3-8
King James Version
3 And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.
4 The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
5 The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful.
6 For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the Lord, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7 The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.
8 But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.
