Proverbs 6:12-15
American Standard Version
12 A worthless person, a man of iniquity,
Is he that walketh with a perverse mouth;
13 That winketh with his eyes, that [a]speaketh with his feet,
That [b]maketh signs with his fingers;
14 In whose heart is perverseness,
Who deviseth evil continually,
Who [c]soweth discord.
15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly;
On a sudden shall he be broken, and that without remedy.

Proverbs 6:12-15
Lexham English Bible
Against Worthlessness
12 A worthless man, an evil man,
goes around with deceitful speech.[a]
13 Winking in his eye, shuffling in his foot,
pointing in his fingers,
14 perversion in his heart, he devises evil;
at all times he will send out discord.[b]
15 Upon such a man,[c] suddenly shall his calamity come;
in a moment he will be damaged and there is no healing.[d]
