"But the liberal devises liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand. ¶ "
— Isaiah 32:8, American King James Version
“But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.”
“But the noble deviseth noble things; and in noble things shall he continue. ”
“But the noble devises noble things; and he will continue in noble things.”
“An honorable man makes honorable plans; his honorable character gives him security.”
“But the prince will devise such things as are worthy of a prince, and he shall stand above the rulers.”
“But the noble-hearted man has noble purposes, and by these he will be guided.”
“But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.”
The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful.
For the vile person will speak villainy, and his heart will work iniquity, to practice 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.
The instruments also of the churl are evil: he devises wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaks right.
But the liberal devises liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand. ¶
Rise up, you women that are at ease; hear my voice, you careless daughters; give ear to my speech.
Many days and years shall you be troubled, you careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.
Tremble, you women that are at ease; be troubled, you careless ones: strip you, and make you bore, and gird sackcloth on your loins.
