Isaiah 32:7
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
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.
In context
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.
