Isaiah 32:3-8
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
3 Then the eyes of those who have sight will not be closed,
and the ears of those who have hearing will listen.(A)
4 The minds of the rash will have good judgment,
and the tongues of stammerers will speak readily and distinctly.(B)
5 A fool will no longer be called noble
nor a villain said to be honorable.(C)
6 For fools speak folly,
and their minds plot iniquity:
to practice ungodliness,
to utter error concerning the Lord,
to leave the craving of the hungry unsatisfied,
and to deprive the thirsty of drink.(D)
7 The villainies of villains are evil;
they devise wicked devices
to ruin the poor with lying words,
even when the plea of the needy is right.(E)
8 But those who are noble plan noble things,
and by noble things they stand.(F)
Isaiah 32:3-8
Common English Bible
3 Then the eyes of those who can see will no longer be blind,
the ears of those who can hear will listen,
4 the minds of the rash will know and comprehend,
and the tongues of those who stammer will speak fluently and plainly.
5 Then a fool will no longer be called honorable,
nor a villain considered respectable.
6 Fools speak folly;
their minds devise wickedness,
acting irreverently,
speaking falsely of the Lord,
leaving the hungry empty,
and depriving the thirsty of drink.
7 As for the villain, his villainies are evil.
He plans schemes to destroy the poor with lying words,
even when the needy speak justly.
8 But an honorable person plans honorable things
and stands up for what is honorable.
