Isaiah 32:5-7
New King James Version
Isaiah 32:5-7
New King James Version
5 The foolish person will no longer be called [a]generous,
Nor the miser said to be bountiful;
6 For the foolish person will speak foolishness,
And his heart will work (A)iniquity:
To practice ungodliness,
To utter error against the Lord,
To keep the hungry unsatisfied,
And he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7 Also the schemes of the schemer are evil;
He devises wicked plans
To destroy the poor with (B)lying words,
Even when the needy speaks justice.

Isaiah 32:5-7
New International Version
5 No longer will the fool(A) be called noble
nor the scoundrel be highly respected.
6 For fools speak folly,(B)
their hearts are bent on evil:(C)
They practice ungodliness(D)
and spread error(E) concerning the Lord;
the hungry they leave empty(F)
and from the thirsty they withhold water.
7 Scoundrels use wicked methods,(G)
they make up evil schemes(H)
to destroy the poor with lies,
even when the plea of the needy(I) is just.(J)

Isaiah 32:5-7
King James Version
5 The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful.
6 For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the Lord, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7 The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.

and to deprive the thirsty of drink.
7 As for the scoundrel—(D)his devices are evil;
he plans wicked schemes
to ruin the poor with lying words,
even when the plea of the needy is right.
