27  ^yA worthless man plots evil,

and his speech¹ is like ^za scorching fire.

28  ^aA dishonest man spreads strife,

and ^ba whisperer ^cseparates close friends.

29  A man of violence ^dentices his neighbor

and leads him in a way that is not good.

30  Whoever winks his eyes plans^{2 e}dishonest things;

he who ^fpurses his lips brings evil to pass.
