Isaiah 32:3-8
New American Standard Bible
3 Then (A)the eyes of those who see will not be [a]blinded,
And the ears of those who hear will listen.
4 The [b]mind of the (B)rash will discern the [c]truth,
And the tongue of the stammerers will hurry to speak clearly.
5 No longer will the (C)fool be called noble,
Or the rogue be spoken of as generous.
6 For a fool speaks nonsense,
And his heart [d](D)inclines toward wickedness:
To practice (E)ungodliness and to speak error against the Lord,
To [e](F)keep the hungry person unsatisfied
And [f]to withhold drink from the thirsty.
7 As for a rogue, his weapons are evil;
He (G)devises wicked schemes
To (H)destroy the poor with [g]slander,
(I)Even though the needy one speaks [h]what is right.
8 But (J)the noble person devises noble plans;
And by noble plans he stands.

Isaiah 32:3-8
New International Version
3 Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed,(A)
and the ears(B) of those who hear will listen.
4 The fearful heart will know and understand,(C)
and the stammering tongue(D) will be fluent and clear.
5 No longer will the fool(E) be called noble
nor the scoundrel be highly respected.
6 For fools speak folly,(F)
their hearts are bent on evil:(G)
They practice ungodliness(H)
and spread error(I) concerning the Lord;
the hungry they leave empty(J)
and from the thirsty they withhold water.
7 Scoundrels use wicked methods,(K)
they make up evil schemes(L)
to destroy the poor with lies,
even when the plea of the needy(M) is just.(N)
8 But the noble make noble plans,
and by noble deeds(O) they stand.(P)
