Isaiah 32:4-6
International Standard Version
4 The hearts of reckless people will understand sound judgment,
and the tongues of those who stammer will be ready to speak clearly.
5 People will no longer call a fool[a] noble,
nor will a bad person be declared honorable.
6 For fools utter contempt,
and their minds plot[b] wrong things:
practicing ungodliness,
spreading lies about the Lord,
leaving the pangs of hungry people unsatisfied,
and depriving thirsty people of drink.
