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
Revised Standard Version
3 Then the eyes of those who see will not be closed,
and the ears of those who hear will hearken.
4 The mind of the rash will have good judgment,
and the tongue of the stammerers will speak readily and distinctly.
5 The fool will no more be called noble,
nor the knave said to be honorable.
6 For the fool speaks folly,
and his mind plots 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.
7 The knaveries of the knave are evil;
he devises wicked devices
to ruin the poor with lying words,
even when the plea of the needy is right.
8 But he who is noble devises noble things,
and by noble things he stands.
