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.

12 A troublemaker and a villain,
who goes about with a corrupt mouth,
13 who winks maliciously with his eye,(A)

and motions with his fingers,(B)

he always stirs up conflict.(D)
15 Therefore disaster will overtake him in an instant;(E)
he will suddenly(F) be destroyed—without remedy.(G)

18 a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,(L)
19 a false witness(M) who pours out lies(N)

Proverbs 6:12-19
King James Version
Proverbs 6:12-19
King James Version
12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
13 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
14 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
