12 What are worthless and wicked people like?
They are constant liars,
13 signaling their deceit with a wink of the eye,

and they constantly stir up trouble.
15 But they will be destroyed suddenly,
broken in an instant beyond all hope of healing.

19 a false witness who pours out lies,
a person who sows discord in a family.
