Proverbs 6:12-19

12A 1worthless person, a wicked man, Is one who walks with a 2perverse mouth,13Who 3winks with his eyes, who 4signals with his feet, Who 5points with his fingers;14Who, with 6perversion in his heart, continually 7devises evil, Who 8 9spreads strife.15Therefore 10his disaster will come suddenly; 11Instantly he will be broken and there will be 12no healing.

16There are six things that the Lord hates, Seven that are an abomination 13to Him:17 14Haughty eyes, a 15lying tongue, And hands that 16shed innocent blood,18A heart that devises 17wicked plans, 18Feet that run rapidly to evil,19A 19false witness who declares lies, And one who 20 21spreads strife among brothers.
