Verse in context — Isaiah 32
5
The fool will no longer be called noble, nor the scoundrel be highly respected.

For the fool will speak folly, and his heart will work iniquity, to practice profanity, and to utter error against Yahweh, To make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7
The ways of the scoundrel are evil. He devises wicked devices to destroy the humble with lying words, even when the needy speaks right.
8
But the noble devises noble things; and he will continue in noble things.
9
Rise up, you women who are at ease! Hear my voice! You careless daughters, give ear to my speech!
