32:6For a fool speaks disgraceful things;8
his mind plans out sinful deeds.9
He commits godless deeds10
and says misleading things about the Lord;
he gives the hungry nothing to satisfy their appetite11
and gives the thirsty nothing to drink.12
32:7A deceiver’s methods are evil;13
he dreams up evil plans14
to ruin the poor with lies,
even when the needy are in the right.15

ESVEnglish Standard Version
For the fool speaks folly,
and his heart is busy with 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.
As for the scoundrel—his devices are evil;
he plans wicked schemes
to ruin the poor with lying words,
even when the plea of the needy is right.
Copyright 2001 Crossway Bibles
NIVNew International Version (2011)
For fools speak folly,
their hearts are bent on evil:
They practice ungodliness
and spread error concerning the Lord;
the hungry they leave empty
and from the thirsty they withhold water.
Scoundrels use wicked methods,
they make up evil schemes
to destroy the poor with lies,
even when the plea of the needy is just.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
For a fool speaks foolishness
and his mind plots iniquity.
He lives in a godless way
and speaks falsely about the Lord.
He leaves the hungry empty
and deprives the thirsty of drink.
The scoundrel’s weapons are destructive;
he hatches plots to destroy the needy with lies,
even when the poor person says what is right.

NLTNew Living Translation
For fools speak foolishness
and make evil plans.
They practice ungodliness
and spread false teachings about the Lord.
They deprive the hungry of food
and give no water to the thirsty.
The smooth tricks of scoundrels are evil.
They plot crooked schemes.
They lie to convict the poor,
even when the cause of the poor is just.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
For a fool speaks folly,
and his mind does iniquity:
to behave wickedly,
and to speak error concerning Yahweh,
to leave the throat of the hungry empty,
and he deprives the thirsty of drink.
And a scoundrel, his weapons are evil;
he plans evil devices
to ruin the poor with words of deception
even when the speech of the needy is right.

KJV 1900King James Version
For the vile person will speak villany,
And his heart will work iniquity,
To practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the Lord,
To make empty the soul of the hungry,
And he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
The instruments also of the churl are evil:
He deviseth wicked devices
To destroy the poor with lying words,
Even when the needy speaketh right.
