"The ways of the scoundrel are evil. He devises wicked devices to destroy the humble with lying words, even when the needy speaks right."
— Isaiah 32:7, World English Bible
“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.”
“And the instruments of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the meek with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right. ”
“A deceiver’s methods are evil; he dreams up evil plans to ruin the poor with lies, even when the needy are in the right.”
“The vessels of the deceitful are most wicked: for he hath framed devices to destroy the meek, with lying words, when the poor man speaketh judgment.”
“The designs of the false are evil, purposing the destruction of the poor man by false words, even when he is in the right.”

The heart of the rash will understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly.
The fool will no longer be called noble, nor the scoundrel be highly respected.
For the fool will speak folly, and his heart will work iniquity, to practice profanity, and to utter error against Yahweh, To make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
The ways of the scoundrel are evil. He devises wicked devices to destroy the humble with lying words, even when the needy speaks right.
But the noble devises noble things; and he will continue in noble things.
Rise up, you women who are at ease! Hear my voice! You careless daughters, give ear to my speech!
For days beyond a year you will be troubled, you careless women; for the vintage shall fail. The harvest won't come.
