Proverbs 16:27-30
Legacy Standard Bible
27 A (A)vile man digs up evil,
And the words on his lips are like (B)scorching fire.
28 A perverse man spreads strife,
And a whisperer separates close companions.
29 A man of violence (C)entices his neighbor
And leads him in a way that is not good.
30 He who winks his eyes does so to devise perverse things;
He who compresses his lips brings evil to pass.
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)
