Isaiah 32:3-8
Lexham English Bible

3 And the eyes of those who see will not gaze,[a]
    and the ears of those who hear will listen.
4 And the minds[b] of the rash will understand knowledge,[c]
    and the tongues[d] of stammerers will hasten to speak clearly.
5 A fool will no longer be called noble,
    and a scoundrel will not be said to be eminent.
6 For a fool speaks folly,
    and his mind[e] does iniquity:
to behave wickedly,[f]
    and to speak error concerning Yahweh,
to leave the throat of the hungry empty,
    and he deprives the thirsty of drink.
7 And a scoundrel, his weapons are evil;
    he plans evil devices
to ruin the poor with words of deception
    even[g] when the speech of the needy is right.
8 But[h] the nobleman plans noble things,
    and he stands upon noble things.

Isaiah 32:3-8
American Standard Version

3 And the eyes of them that see shall not be [a]dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken. 4 And the heart of the [b]rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly. 5 The fool shall be no more called noble, nor the [c]churl said to be bountiful. 6 For the fool will speak folly, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise profaneness, and to utter error against Jehovah, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail. 7 And the instruments of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the [d]meek with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right. 8 But the noble deviseth noble things; and [e]in noble things shall he continue.
