¹² A worthless person, a man of iniquity,
Is he that walketh with a perverse mouth;
¹³ That winketh with his eyes, that ^[a]speaketh with his feet,
That ^[b]maketh signs with his fingers;
¹⁴ In whose heart is perverseness,
Who deviseth evil continually,
Who ^[c]soweth discord.
¹⁵ Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly;
On a sudden shall he be broken, and that without remedy.

¹⁰ He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow;
But ^[a]a prating fool ^[b]shall fall.
¹¹ The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life;
But ^[c]violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

³ The integrity of the upright shall guide them;
But the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them.

^30 [a]He that shutteth his eyes, it is to devise perverse things:
He that compresseth his lips bringeth evil to pass.

¹⁴ It is bad, it is bad, saith the buyer;
But when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.

⁶ Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye,
Neither desire thou his dainties:
⁷ For ^[a]as he thinketh within himself, so is he:
Eat and drink, saith he to thee;
But his heart is not with thee.
⁸ The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up,
And lose thy sweet words.

²³ Fervent lips and a wicked heart
Are like an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross.
²⁴ He that hateth dissembleth with his lips;
But he layeth up deceit within him:
²⁵ When he speaketh fair, believe him not;
For there are seven abominations in his heart:
²⁶ Though his hatred cover itself with guile,
His wickedness shall be openly showed before the assembly.
