Isaiah 32:5-7
International Standard Version
5 People will no longer call a fool[a] noble,
nor will a bad person be declared honorable.
6 For fools utter contempt,
and their minds plot[b] wrong things:
practicing ungodliness,
spreading lies about the Lord,
leaving the pangs of hungry people unsatisfied,
and depriving thirsty people of drink.
7 Furthermore, the crimes of bad people are evil;
and[c] they devise wicked schemes,
destroying the poor[d] with lying words,
even when needy people plead[e] a just cause.

the hungry they leave empty(F)

to destroy the poor with lies,

Isaiah 32:5-7
King James Version
5 The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful.
6 For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the Lord, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7 The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.
