Proverbs 16:27-30

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁷ A worthless scoundrel constantly plots evil,
and from his lips comes a scorching fire.
²⁸ A perverse^[a] man spreads conflict,
and a gossip separates intimate friends.
²⁹ A violent man entices his neighbor.
He leads him on a way that is not good.
³⁰ A person who squints his eyes is plotting something perverse.
One who purses his lips has completed some evil plot.
