Isaiah 32:6

Read in context

Isaiah 32:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

8 But a noble man makes honorable plans; he stands up for worthy causes.
