"He who is foolish will no longer be called leader, nor will the deceitful be called greater. "
— Isaiah 32:5, Catholic Public Domain Version
“The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful.”
“The fool shall be no more called noble, nor the churl said to be bountiful. ”
“The fool will no longer be called noble, nor the scoundrel be highly respected.”
“A fool will no longer be called honorable; a deceiver will no longer be called principled.”
“The fool shall no more be called prince: neither shall the deceitful be called great:”
“The foolish man will no longer be named noble, and they will not say of the false man that he is a man of honour.”
“The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful.”
And a man will be like someone hidden from the wind, who conceals himself from a storm, or like rivers of waters in a time of thirst, or like the shadow of a rock that juts out in a desert land.
The eyes of those who see will not be obscured, and the ears of those who hear will listen closely.
And the heart of the foolish will understand knowledge, and the tongue of those with impaired speech will speak quickly and plainly.
He who is foolish will no longer be called leader, nor will the deceitful be called greater.
For a foolish man speaks foolishness and his heart works iniquity in order to accomplish deception. And he speaks to the Lord deceitfully, so as to empty the soul of the hungry and to take away drink from the thirsty.
The tools of the deceitful are very wicked. For they have concocted plans to destroy the meek by lying words, though the poor speak judgment.
Yet truly, the prince will plan things that are worthy of a prince, and he will stand above the rulers.
