Isaiah 32:5-7
New English Translation
Isaiah 32:5-7
New English Translation
5 A fool will no longer be called honorable;
a deceiver will no longer be called principled.
6 For a fool speaks disgraceful things;[a]
his mind plans out sinful deeds.[b]
He commits godless deeds[c]
and says misleading things about the Lord;
he gives the hungry nothing to satisfy their appetite[d]
and gives the thirsty nothing to drink.[e]
7 A deceiver’s methods are evil;[f]
he dreams up evil plans[g]
to ruin the poor with lies,
even when the needy are in the right.[h]
