Isaiah

Isaiah 32:4–6

⁴The mind of the rash will know and understand,

and the stammering tongue will speak clearly and fluently.

⁵No longer will a fool be called noble,

nor a scoundrel be respected.

⁶For 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.
