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
Revised Standard Version
12 A worthless person, a wicked man,
goes about with crooked speech,
13 winks with his eyes, scrapes[a] with his feet,
points with his finger,
14 with perverted heart devises evil,
continually sowing discord;
15 therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly;
in a moment he will be broken beyond healing.
