Proverbs 6:12-19

Contemporary English Version

¹² Worthless liars go around
^13 (A) winking and giving signals
    to deceive others.
¹⁴ They are always thinking up
something cruel and evil,
    and they stir up trouble.
¹⁵ But they will be struck
by sudden disaster
    and left without a hope.

¹⁶ There are six or seven
kinds of people
    the Lord doesn't like:
¹⁷ Those who are too proud
    or tell lies or murder,
¹⁸ those who make evil plans
    or are quick to do wrong,
¹⁹ those who tell lies in court
or stir up trouble
    in a family.
