Proverbs 6:12-19
New American Standard Bible
12 A (A)worthless person, a wicked man,
Is one who walks with a (B)perverse mouth,
13 Who (C)winks with his eyes, who [a]signals with his feet,
Who [b]points with his fingers;
14 Who, with (D)perversion in his heart, continually (E)devises evil,
Who [c](F)spreads strife.
15 Therefore (G)his disaster will come suddenly;
(H)Instantly he will be broken and there will be (I)no healing.
16 There are six things that the Lord hates,
Seven that are an abomination [d]to Him:
17 (J)Haughty eyes, a (K)lying tongue,
And hands that (L)shed innocent blood,
18 A heart that devises (M)wicked plans,
(N)Feet that run rapidly to evil,
19 A (O)false witness who declares lies,
And one who [e](P)spreads strife among brothers.
