Isaiah 32:4-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 32
4
The mind of the rash will discern the truth,
And the tongue of the stammerers will hurry to speak clearly.
5
No longer will the fool be called noble,
Or the rogue be spoken of
as
generous.
6
For a fool speaks nonsense,
And his heart inclines toward wickedness:
To practice ungodliness and to speak error against the
Lord
,
To keep the hungry person unsatisfied
And to withhold drink from the thirsty.
7
As for a rogue, his weapons are evil;
He devises wicked schemes
To destroy
the
poor with slander,
Even though
the
needy one speaks what is right.
8
But the noble person devises noble plans;
And by noble plans he stands.
9
Rise up, you women who are at ease,
And
hear my voice;
Listen to my word,
You complacent daughters.
King James Version
Chapter 32
4
The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
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.
8
But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.
9
Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 32
4
The reckless mind will gain knowledge,
and the stammering tongue will speak clearly and fluently.
5
A fool will no longer be called a noble,
nor a scoundrel said to be important.
6
For a fool speaks foolishness
and his mind plots iniquity.
He lives in a godless way
and speaks falsely about the
Lord
.
He leaves the hungry empty
and deprives the thirsty of drink.
7
The scoundrel’s weapons are destructive;
he hatches plots to destroy the needy with lies,
even when the poor person says what is right.
8
But a noble person plans noble things;
he stands up for noble causes.
9
Stand up, you complacent women;
listen to me.
Pay attention to what I say,
you overconfident daughters.
New Living Translation
Chapter 32
4
Even the hotheads will be full of sense and understanding.
Those who stammer will speak out plainly.
5
In that day ungodly fools will not be heroes.
Scoundrels will not be respected.
6
For fools speak foolishness
and make evil plans.
They practice ungodliness
and spread false teachings about the
Lord
.
They deprive the hungry of food
and give no water to the thirsty.
7
The smooth tricks of scoundrels are evil.
They plot crooked schemes.
They lie to convict the poor,
even when the cause of the poor is just.
8
But generous people plan to do what is generous,
and they stand firm in their generosity.
9
Listen, you women who lie around in ease.
Listen to me, you who are so smug.
English Standard Version
Chapter 32
4
The heart of the hasty will understand and know,
and the tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak distinctly.
5
The fool will no more be called noble,
nor the scoundrel said to be honorable.
6
For the fool speaks folly,
and his heart is busy with iniquity,
to practice ungodliness,
to utter error concerning the
Lord
,
to leave the craving of the hungry unsatisfied,
and to deprive the thirsty of drink.
7
As for the scoundrel — his devices are evil;
he plans wicked schemes
to ruin the poor with lying words,
even when the plea of the needy is right.
8
But he who is noble plans noble things,
and on noble things he stands.
9
Rise up, you women who are at ease, hear my voice;
you complacent daughters, give ear to my speech.
New International Version
Chapter 32
4
The fearful heart will know and understand,
and the stammering tongue will be fluent and clear.
5
No longer will the fool be called noble
nor the scoundrel be highly respected.
6
For fools speak folly,
their hearts are bent on evil:
They practice ungodliness
and spread error concerning the
Lord
;
the hungry they leave empty
and from the thirsty they withhold water.
7
Scoundrels use wicked methods,
they make up evil schemes
to destroy the poor with lies,
even when the plea of the needy is just.
8
But the noble make noble plans,
and by noble deeds they stand.
9
You women who are so complacent,
rise up and listen to me;
you daughters who feel secure,
hear what I have to say!
New King James Version
Chapter 32
4
Also the heart of the rash will understand knowledge,
And the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly.
5
The foolish person will no longer be called generous,
Nor the miser said
to be
bountiful;
6
For the foolish person will speak foolishness,
And his heart will work 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 lying words,
Even when the needy speaks justice.
8
But a generous man devises generous things,
And by generosity he shall stand.
9
Rise up, you women who are at ease,
Hear my voice;
You complacent daughters,
Give ear to my speech.
