Isaiah

Isaiah 32:5–7

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.

⁷The weapons of the scoundrel are destructive;

he hatches plots to destroy the poor with lies,

even when the plea of the needy is just.
