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
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]
