Proverbs 6:12-15

12 A (A)worthless person, a wicked man,
Is the 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)perversity in his heart continually (E)devises evil,
Who [c](F)spreads strife.
15 Therefore (G)his calamity will come suddenly;
(H)Instantly he will be broken and there will be (I)no healing.

23 Like an earthen (A)vessel overlaid with silver (B)dross
Are burning lips and a wicked heart.

His wickedness will be (G)revealed before the assembly.
