Isaiah 32:6-11 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

6. A fool says foolish things.And in his mind he plans to do evil things.A fool wants to do things that are wrong.He says wrong things about the Lord.A fool does not feed the hungry.He does not let thirsty people drink water.

7. The wicked man uses evil like a tool.He plans ways to take everything from poor people.He destroys the poor with lies,even when the poor man is in the right.

8. But a good leader plans good things to do.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.

10. You women feel safe now,but after one year you will be afraid.There will be no grape harvest.There will not be any summer fruit to gather.

11. Women, you are calm now, but you should shake with fear.Women, you feel safe now, but you should tremble.Take off your nice clothes.Then put rough cloth around your waist to show your sadness.
