Isaiah 32:7-9

New Century Version

⁷ The wicked person uses evil like a tool.
    He plans ways to take everything from the poor.
He destroys the poor with lies,
    even when the poor person is in the right.
⁸ But a good leader plans to do good,
    and those good things make him a good leader.

⁹ You women who are calm now,
    stand up and listen to me.
You women who feel safe now,
    hear what I say.
