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
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
3 Then the eyes of those who have sight will not be closed,
and the ears of those who have hearing will listen.(A)
4 The minds of the rash will have good judgment,
and the tongues of stammerers will speak readily and distinctly.(B)
5 A fool will no longer be called noble
nor a villain said to be honorable.(C)
6 For fools speak folly,
and their minds plot iniquity:
to practice ungodliness,
to utter error concerning the Lord,
to leave the craving of the hungry unsatisfied,
and to deprive the thirsty of drink.(D)
7 The villainies of villains are evil;
they devise wicked devices
to ruin the poor with lying words,
even when the plea of the needy is right.(E)
8 But those who are noble plan noble things,
and by noble things they stand.(F)
