Isaiah 32:8

But a noble man makes honorable plans; he stands up for worthy causes.

Isaiah 32:8 · BSB

Isaiah 32:8 in context

The verses around it, from Isaiah 32.

4 The mind of the rash will know and understand, and the stammering tongue will speak clearly and fluently.

5 No longer will a fool be called noble, nor a scoundrel be respected.

6 For a fool speaks foolishness; his mind plots iniquity. He practices ungodliness and speaks falsely about the LORD; he leaves the hungry empty and deprives the thirsty of drink.

7 The weapons of the scoundrel are destructive; he hatches plots to destroy the poor with lies, even when the plea of the needy is just.

8 But a noble man makes honorable plans; he stands up for worthy causes.

9 Stand up, you complacent women; listen to me. Give ear to my word, you overconfident daughters.

10 In a little more than a year you will tremble, O secure ones. For the grape harvest will fail and the fruit harvest will not arrive.

11 Shudder, you ladies of leisure; tremble, you daughters of complacency. Strip yourselves bare and put sackcloth around your waists.

12 Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vines,
