8But the noble deviseth noble things; and to noble things doth he stand.


In Context

5 The vile man shall be no more called noble, nor the churl said to be bountiful:

6 for the vile man will speak villainy, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against Jehovah, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.

7 The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the meek with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.

8 But the noble deviseth noble things; and to noble things doth he stand.

9 Rise up, ye women that are at ease, hear my voice; ye careless daughters, give ear unto my speech.

10 In a year and some days shall ye be troubled, ye careless women; for the vintage shall fail, the ingathering shall not come.
