Proverbs 6:12-15
New International Version
12 A troublemaker and a villain,
who goes about with a corrupt mouth,
13 who winks maliciously with his eye,(A)
signals with his feet
and motions with his fingers,(B)
14 who plots evil(C) with deceit in his heart—
he always stirs up conflict.(D)
15 Therefore disaster will overtake him in an instant;(E)
he will suddenly(F) be destroyed—without remedy.(G)
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]
