Proverbs 6:12–19

12  A worthless person, a wicked man,

goes about with qcrooked speech,

13  rwinks with his eyes, signals1 with his feet,

spoints with his finger,

14  with perverted heart tdevises evil,

continually sowing udiscord;

15  therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly;

vin a moment he will be broken beyond healing.

16  There are wsix things that the Lord hates,

seven that are an abomination to him:

17  haughty eyes, a lying tongue,

and hands that shed innocent blood,

18  a heart that devises wicked plans,

xfeet that make haste to run to evil,

19  a false witness who ybreathes out lies,

and one who sows discord among brothers.
