“The weapons of the scoundrel are destructive; he hatches plots to destroy the poor with lies, even when the plea of the needy is just.”
Isaiah 32:7 (BSB)
Context Reading
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. 8But a noble man makes honorable plans; he stands up for worthy causes. 9Stand up, you complacent women; listen to me. Give ear to my word, you overconfident daughters.
