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.
For a corrupt person will speak evil things, and their heart will plan wickedness, practicing deception and speaking lies about the LORD. They will leave hungry people empty-handed and deny water to those who are thirsty.
This verse is warning that corrupt people will speak evil, deceive others about God, and refuse to help those in need.
