And the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly.
And his heart will work ainiquity:
To practice ungodliness,
To utter error against the Lord,
To keep the hungry unsatisfied,
And he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
He devises wicked plans
To destroy the poor with alying words,
Even when the needy speaks justice.
Consequences of Complacency
You will be troubled, you complacent women;
For the vintage will fail,
The gathering will not come.
| << Isaiah 32:4 | Isaiah 32:6 >> |
