Isaiah 32:5-7
International Standard Version
5 People will no longer call a fool[a] noble,
nor will a bad person be declared honorable.
6 For fools utter contempt,
and their minds plot[b] wrong things:
practicing ungodliness,
spreading lies about the Lord,
leaving the pangs of hungry people unsatisfied,
and depriving thirsty people of drink.
7 Furthermore, the crimes of bad people are evil;
and[c] they devise wicked schemes,
destroying the poor[d] with lying words,
even when needy people plead[e] a just cause.
