Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

5 The fool shall no more be called noble, nor the mean spoken of as liberal.

6 For the fool will speak folly, and his heart will work naughtiness, todo impiety, and to speak error against the Lord, to empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.

7 And the means of the mean are evil; it is he that deviseth plots to destroy the meek with words of falsehood, even when the needy speaketh judgment.

8 But the noble deviseth noble things; and he shall stand firm on noble things.
