Isaiah 32:5

Read in context

Isaiah 32:3–7 · Berean Standard Bible

3 Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed, and the ears of those who hear will listen.

4 The mind of the rash will know and understand, and the stammering tongue will speak clearly and fluently.

5 No longer will a fool be called noble, nor a scoundrel be respected.

6 For a fool speaks foolishness; his mind plots iniquity. He practices ungodliness and speaks falsely about the LORD; he leaves the hungry empty and deprives the thirsty of drink.

7 The weapons of the scoundrel are destructive; he hatches plots to destroy the poor with lies, even when the plea of the needy is just.
