Isaiah 32:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 A [a]niggard shall no more be called liberal, nor the churl rich.
6 But the niggard will speak of niggardness, and his heart will work iniquity, and do wickedly, and speak falsely against the Lord, to make empty the hungry soul, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7 For the weapons of the churl are wicked: he deviseth wicked counsels to undo the poor with lying words, and to speak against the poor in judgment.

Isaiah 32:5-7
New International Version
5 No longer will the fool(A) be called noble
nor the scoundrel be highly respected.
6 For fools speak folly,(B)
their hearts are bent on evil:(C)
They practice ungodliness(D)
and spread error(E) concerning the Lord;
the hungry they leave empty(F)
and from the thirsty they withhold water.
7 Scoundrels use wicked methods,(G)
they make up evil schemes(H)
to destroy the poor with lies,
even when the plea of the needy(I) is just.(J)
