Isaiah 32:6-8

^{Tools
6}

For a fool speaks nonsense,
And his heart ^(a)^(A)inclines toward wickedness:
To practice ^(B)ungodliness and to speak error against the Lord,
To ^(b)^(C)keep the hungry person unsatisfied
And ^(c)to withhold drink from the thirsty.

As for a rogue, his weapons are evil;
He ^(D)devises wicked schemes
To ^(E)destroy the afflicted with ^(d)slander,
^(F)Even though the needy one speaks ^(e)what is right.

^{Tools

But ^(G)the noble man devises noble plans;
And by noble plans he stands.
