Isaiah 32:7 in Context — Isaiah 32

5 El mezquino nunca más será llamado liberal, ni será dicho generoso el avariento.

6 Porque el mezquino hablará mezquindades, y su corazón fabricará iniquidad, para hacer la impiedad y para hablar escarnio contra Jehová, dejando vacía el alma hambrienta, y quitando la bebida al sediento.

7 Cierto los avaros malas medidas [tienen]: él maquina pensamientos para enredar á los simples con palabras cautelosas, y para hablar en juicio [contra] el pobre.

8 Mas el liberal pensará liberalidades, y por liberalidades subirá.

9 Mujeres reposadas, levantaos, oid mi voz; confiadas, escuchad mi razón.
