NET Bible
"An honorable man makes honorable plans; his honorable character gives him security."
— Isaiah 32:8, NET Bible
“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.”
“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.”
A fool will no longer be called honorable; a deceiver will no longer be called principled.
For a fool speaks disgraceful things; his mind plans out sinful deeds. He commits godless deeds and says misleading things about the LORD; he gives the hungry nothing to satisfy their appetite and gives the thirsty nothing to drink.
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.
An honorable man makes honorable plans; his honorable character gives him security.
The Lord Will Give True Security You complacent women, get up and listen to me! You carefree daughters, pay attention to what I say!
In a year’s time you carefree ones will shake with fear, for the grape harvest will fail, and the fruit harvest will not arrive.
Tremble, you complacent ones! Shake with fear, you carefree ones! Strip off your clothes and expose yourselves– put sackcloth on your waist!
