NASB
"But the noble man devises noble plans; And by noble plans he stands."
— Isaiah 32:8, NASB
“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.”
No longer will the fool be called noble, Or the rogue be spoken of as generous.
For a fool speaks nonsense, And his heart inclines toward wickedness: To practice ungodliness and to speak error against the LORD, To keep the hungry person unsatisfied And to withhold drink from the thirsty.
As for a rogue, his weapons are evil; He devises wicked schemes To destroy the afflicted with slander, Even though the needy one speaks what is right.
But the noble man devises noble plans; And by noble plans he stands.
Rise up, you women who are at ease, And hear my voice; Give ear to my word, You complacent daughters.
Within a year and a few days You will be troubled, O complacent daughters; For the vintage is ended, And the fruit gathering will not come.
Tremble, you women who are at ease; Be troubled, you complacent daughters; Strip, undress and put sackcloth on your waist,
