Proverbs 16:27-30
Christian Standard Bible
27 A worthless person digs up evil,
and his speech is like a scorching fire.(A)
28 A contrary person spreads conflict,
and a gossip separates close friends.(B)
30 The one who narrows his eyes is planning deceptions;
the one who compresses his lips brings about evil.(E)
Proverbs 16:27-30
Lexham English Bible
27 A man of wickedness concocts evil,
and his lips are like a scorching fire.
28 A person of perversity will spread dissent,
and he who whispers separates a close friend.
29 A person of violence will entice his neighbor
and cause him to walk on a way that is not good.
30 He who winks his eyes does so in order to plan perverse things;
he who purses his lips will bring evil to pass.
