Proverbs 6:12-15
Modern English Version
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.
Proverbs 6:12-15

12 A worthless person, a wicked man,
Walks with a perverse mouth;
13 (A)He winks with his eyes,
He [a]shuffles his feet,
He points with his fingers;
14 Perversity is in his heart,
(B)He devises evil continually,
(C)He sows discord.
15 Therefore his calamity shall come (D)suddenly;
Suddenly he shall (E)be broken (F)without remedy.
