Isaiah 32:6-8
New American Standard Bible
6 For a fool speaks nonsense,
And his heart [a](A)inclines toward wickedness:
To practice (B)ungodliness and to speak error against the Lord,
To [b](C)keep the hungry person unsatisfied
And [c]to withhold drink from the thirsty.
7 As for a rogue, his weapons are evil;
He (D)devises wicked schemes
To (E)destroy the poor with [d]slander,
(F)Even though the needy one speaks [e]what is right.
8 But (G)the noble person devises noble plans;
And by noble plans he stands.

and spread error(D) concerning the Lord;
the hungry they leave empty(E)
and from the thirsty they withhold water.

they make up evil schemes(G)
to destroy the poor with lies,
even when the plea of the needy(H) is just.(I)

and by noble deeds(J) they stand.(K)
