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
New Living Translation
12 What are worthless and wicked people like?
They are constant liars,
13 signaling their deceit with a wink of the eye,
a nudge of the foot, or the wiggle of fingers.
14 Their perverted hearts plot evil,
and they constantly stir up trouble.
15 But they will be destroyed suddenly,
broken in an instant beyond all hope of healing.
