Isaiah 32:6-8
Contemporary English Version
Isaiah 32:6-8
Contemporary English Version
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.
7 Cruel people tell lies—
they do evil things,
and make cruel plans
to destroy the poor and needy,
even when they beg
for justice.
8 But helpful people
can always be trusted
to make helpful plans.
Isaiah 32:6-8
New International Version
Isaiah 32:6-8
New International Version
6 For fools speak folly,(A)
their hearts are bent on evil:(B)
They practice ungodliness(C)
and spread error(D) concerning the Lord;
the hungry they leave empty(E)
and from the thirsty they withhold water.
7 Scoundrels use wicked methods,(F)
they make up evil schemes(G)
to destroy the poor with lies,
even when the plea of the needy(H) is just.(I)
8 But the noble make noble plans,
and by noble deeds(J) they stand.(K)
