Isaiah 32:6

32:6 For a fool speaks disgraceful things; ¹ 

his mind plans out sinful deeds. ² 

He commits godless deeds ³ 

and says misleading things about the Lord;

he gives the hungry nothing to satisfy their appetite ⁴ 

and gives the thirsty nothing to drink. ⁵ 

[32:6]  ¹ tn Or “foolishness,” in a moral-ethical sense. See 9:17.

[32:6]  ² tn Heb “and his heart commits sin”; KJV, ASV “his heart will work iniquity”; NASB “inclines toward wickedness.”

[32:6]  ³ tn Heb “in order to do [or “so that he does”] what is godless [or “defiled”].”

[32:6]  ⁴ tn Heb “so that he leaves empty the appetite [or “desire”] of the hungry.”

[32:6]  ⁵ tn Heb “and the drink of the thirsty he causes to fail.”
