New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
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)

Isaiah 32:3-8
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 person says what is right.
8 But a noble person plans noble things;
he stands up for noble causes.

even when the plea of the needy(M) is just.(N)

and by noble deeds(O) they stand.(P)
