Isaiah 32:7-9
Holman Christian Standard Bible
7 The scoundrel’s weapons are destructive;
he hatches plots to destroy the needy with lies,
even when the poor says what is right.
8 But a noble person plans noble things;
he stands up for noble causes.
9 Stand up, you complacent women;(A)
listen to me.
Pay attention to what I say,
you overconfident daughters.
Isaiah 32:7-9
New King James Version
7 Also the schemes of the schemer are evil;
He devises wicked plans
To destroy the poor with (A)lying words,
Even when the needy speaks justice.
8 But a [a]generous man devises generous things,
And by generosity he shall stand.
Consequences of Complacency
9 Rise up, you women (B)who are at ease,
Hear my voice;
You complacent daughters,
Give ear to my speech.
