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

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)
