Proverbs 6:12-15
New King James Version
The Wicked Man
12 A worthless person, a wicked man,
Walks with a perverse mouth;
13 (A)He winks with his eyes,
He [a]shuffles his feet,
He points with his fingers;
14 Perversity is in his heart,
(B)He devises evil continually,
(C)He sows discord.
15 Therefore his calamity shall come (D)suddenly;
Suddenly he shall (E)be broken (F)without remedy.

Are like earthenware covered with silver dross.

And lays up deceit within himself;

For there are seven abominations in his heart;

His wickedness will be revealed before the assembly.
