Discovery BoxIsaiah 32:4-6 
Context32:4 The mind that acts rashly will possess discernment 1
and the tongue that stutters will speak with ease and clarity.
32:5 A fool will no longer be called honorable;
a deceiver will no longer be called principled.

he gives the hungry nothing to satisfy their appetite 5
and gives the thirsty nothing to drink. 6
