Isaiah 32:4-6
Contemporary English Version
4 All who are impatient
will take time to think;
everyone who stutters
will talk clearly.
5 Fools will no longer
be highly respected,
and crooks won't be given
positions of honor.
6 Fools talk foolishness.
They always make plans
to do sinful things,
to lie about the Lord,
to let the hungry starve,
and to keep water from those
who are thirsty.
Isaiah 32:4-6
New International Version
4 The fearful heart will know and understand,(A)
and the stammering tongue(B) will be fluent and clear.
5 No longer will the fool(C) be called noble
nor the scoundrel be highly respected.
6 For fools speak folly,(D)
their hearts are bent on evil:(E)
They practice ungodliness(F)
and spread error(G) concerning the Lord;
the hungry they leave empty(H)
and from the thirsty they withhold water.
