Isaiah 32:6-8
International Children’s Bible
6 A fool says foolish things.
And in his mind he plans to do evil things.
A fool wants to do things that are wrong.
He says wrong things about the Lord.
A fool does not feed the hungry.
He does not let thirsty people drink water.
7 The wicked man uses evil like a tool.
He plans ways to take everything from poor people.
He destroys the poor with lies,
even when the poor man is in the right.
8 But a good leader plans good things to do.
And those good things make him a good leader.
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)
