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]

¹⁰ The winking of an eye causes^[a] trouble,
    and the foolishness of lips comes to ruin.
¹¹ A fountain of life is a mouth of righteousness,
    and a mouth of wickedness conceals violence.

³ The integrity of the upright guides them,
    but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them.

³⁰ He who winks his eyes does so in order to plan perverse things;
    he who purses his lips will bring evil to pass.

¹⁴ “Bad, bad,” the buyer will say,
    but when one goes to him, then he will boast.

⁶ Do not eat the bread of the stingy,^[a]
    and do not desire his delicacies.
⁷ For, like hair in his throat,^[b] so it is.^[c]
    “Eat and drink!” he will say to you,
    but his heart will not be with you.
⁸ Your morsel you have eaten, you will vomit it up,
    and you will waste your pleasant words.

²³ Like impure silver^[a] which overlays an earthen vessel,
    so are smooth lips and an evil heart^[b].
²⁴ On his lips, an enemy will pretend,
    but inside^[c] he will harbor deceit.
²⁵ When he makes his voice gracious, do not believe him,
    for seven abominations are in his heart.
²⁶ Though hatred is covered with guile,
    its evil will be exposed in the assembly.
