Isaiah 32:4-14

NLT

NIV

4 Even the hotheads will be full of sense and understanding. Those who stammer will speak out plainly.
4 The fearful heart will know and understand, and the stammering tongue will be fluent and clear.
5 In that day ungodly fools will not be heroes. Scoundrels will not be respected.
5 No longer will the fool be called noble nor the scoundrel be highly respected.
6 For fools speak foolishness and make evil plans. They practice ungodliness and spread false teachings about the LORD . They deprive the hungry of food and give no water to the thirsty.
6 For fools speak folly, their hearts are bent on evil: They practice ungodliness and spread error concerning the LORD; the hungry they leave empty and from the thirsty they withhold water.
7 The smooth tricks of scoundrels are evil. They plot crooked schemes. They lie to convict the poor, even when the cause of the poor is just.
7 Scoundrels use wicked methods, they make up evil schemes to destroy the poor with lies, even when the plea of the needy is just.
8 But generous people plan to do what is generous, and they stand firm in their generosity.
8 But the noble make noble plans, and by noble deeds they stand.
9 Listen, you women who lie around in ease. Listen to me, you who are so smug.
9 You women who are so complacent, rise up and listen to me; you daughters who feel secure, hear what I have to say!
10 In a short time—just a little more than a year— you careless ones will suddenly begin to care. For your fruit crops will fail, and the harvest will never take place.
10 In little more than a year you who feel secure will tremble; the grape harvest will fail, and the harvest of fruit will not come.
11 Tremble, you women of ease; throw off your complacency. Strip off your pretty clothes, and put on burlap to show your grief.
11 Tremble, you complacent women; shudder, you daughters who feel secure! Strip off your fine clothes and wrap yourselves in rags.
12 Beat your breasts in sorrow for your bountiful farms and your fruitful grapevines.
12 Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vines
13 For your land will be overgrown with thorns and briers. Your joyful homes and happy towns will be gone.
13 and for the land of my people, a land overgrown with thorns and briers— yes, mourn for all houses of merriment and for this city of revelry.
14 The palace and the city will be deserted, and busy towns will be empty. Wild donkeys will frolic and flocks will graze in the empty forts and watchtowers
14 The fortress will be abandoned, the noisy city deserted; citadel and watchtower will become a wasteland forever, the delight of donkeys, a pasture for flocks,
