Proverbs 6:12-15
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 A scoundrel and a villain
goes around with crooked speech,(A)
13 winking the eyes, shuffling the feet,
pointing the fingers,(B)
14 with perverted mind devising evil,
continually sowing discord;(C)
15 on such a one calamity will descend suddenly,
in a moment, damage beyond repair.(D)
Proverbs 6:12-15
Holman Christian Standard Bible
The Malicious Man
12 A worthless person,(A) a wicked man
goes around speaking dishonestly,(B)
13 winking(C) his eyes, signaling with his feet,
and gesturing with his fingers.
14 He always plots evil(D) with perversity in his heart—
he stirs up trouble.(E)
15 Therefore calamity will strike him suddenly;
he will be shattered instantly—beyond recovery.(F)
