Isaiah 32:7 Context
5The vile person shall be no more called liberall, nor the churle sayd to be bountifull. 6For the vile person wil speake villenie, and his heart will worke iniquitie, to practise hypocrisie, and to vtter errour against the Lord, to make emptie the soule of the hungry, and hee will cause the drinke of the thirstie to faile. 7The instruments also of the churle are euill: he deuiseth wicked deuices, to destroy the poore with lying wordes, euen when the needie speaketh right. 8But the liberall deuiseth liberall things, and by liberall things shall hee stand. 9¶ Rise vp ye women that are at ease: heare my voice, ye carelesse daughters, giue eare vnto my speech.
