Isaiah 32:6-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 For the fool speaks folly,
his heart plans evil:
Godless actions,
perverse speech against the Lord,
Letting the hungry go empty
and the thirsty without drink.(A)
7 The deceits of the deceiver are evil,
he plans devious schemes:
To ruin the poor with lies,
and the needy when they plead their case.(B)
8 But the noble plan noble deeds,
and in noble deeds they persist.
