10 A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to sleep—
11 (A)So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler,
And your need like an armed man.

The Wicked Man

12 A worthless person, a wicked man,
Walks with a perverse mouth;
13 (B)He winks with his eyes,
He [a]shuffles his feet,
He points with his fingers;
14 Perversity is in his heart,
(C)He devises evil continually,
(D)He sows discord.
15 Therefore his calamity shall come (E)suddenly;
Suddenly he shall (F)be broken (G)without remedy.
