Isaiah 32:3-8
World English Bible
3 The eyes of those who see will not be dim,
and the ears of those who hear will listen.
4 The heart of the rash will understand knowledge,
and the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly.
5 The fool will no longer be called noble,
nor the scoundrel be highly respected.
6 For the fool will speak folly,
and his heart will work iniquity,
to practice profanity,
and to utter error against Yahweh,
to make empty the soul of the hungry,
and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7 The ways of the scoundrel are evil.
He devises wicked plans to destroy the humble with lying words,
even when the needy speaks right.
8 But the noble devises noble things;
and he will continue in noble things.
Isaiah 32:3-8
New King James Version
3 (A)The eyes of those who see will not be dim,
And the ears of those who hear will listen.
4 Also the heart of the [a]rash will (B)understand knowledge,
And the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly.
5 The foolish person will no longer be called [b]generous,
Nor the miser said to be bountiful;
6 For the foolish person will speak foolishness,
And his heart will work (C)iniquity:
To practice ungodliness,
To utter error against the Lord,
To keep the hungry unsatisfied,
And he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7 Also the schemes of the schemer are evil;
He devises wicked plans
To destroy the poor with (D)lying words,
Even when the needy speaks justice.
8 But a [c]generous man devises generous things,
And by generosity he shall stand.
