New Testament

Isaiah 32:4-9 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

4. The hasty of heart shall take thought to know,and tongues of stutterers shall speak readily and clearly.

5. No more will the fool be called noble,nor the deceiver be considered honorable.

6. For the fool speaks folly,his heart plans evil:Godless actions,perverse speech against the Lord,Letting the hungry go emptyand the thirsty without drink.

7. The deceits of the deceiver are evil,he plans devious schemes:To ruin the poor with lies,and the needy when they plead their case.

8. But the noble plan noble deeds,and in noble deeds they persist.

9. You women so complacent, rise up and hear my voice,daughters so confident, give heed to my words.
