The Wicked Man

12 A wayward person, a wicked man,
    walks with a perverse mouth.
13     He winks with his eyes,
    he signals with his feet,
    he motions with his fingers;
14     perversity is in his heart,
    he devises mischief continually, he sows discord.
15 Therefore his calamity will come suddenly;
    in a moment he will be broken without remedy.

Suddenly he shall (E)be broken (F)without remedy.
