Then the eyes of those who have sight will not be closed, and the ears of those who have hearing will listen. |
4
|
The minds of the rash will have good judgment, and the tongues of stammerers will speak readily and distinctly. |
5
|
A fool will no longer be called noble, nor a villain said to be honorable. |
6
|
For fools speak folly, and their minds plot iniquity: to practice ungodliness, to utter error concerning the LORD, to leave the craving of the hungry unsatisfied, and to deprive the thirsty of drink. |
7

17
|
The effect of righteousness will be peace, and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust forever. |
18
|
My people will abide in a peaceful habitation, in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places. |
19
|
The forest will disappear completely, and the city will be utterly laid low. |
20
|
