¹² An evil troublemaker
    goes around saying twisted things with his mouth.
¹³     He winks with his eyes.
    He makes signals with his feet.
    He motions with his fingers.
¹⁴     His plans are evil, and he has lies in his heart.
    He is always stirring up fights.
¹⁵ Trouble will catch up with him in an instant.
    He will suddenly be destroyed, and nothing can save him.

¹⁰ An evil wink gets you into trouble.
    And foolish chattering destroys you.

¹¹ The mouths of those who do right pour out life like a fountain.
    But the mouths of sinners hide their evil plans.

³ Those who do what is right are guided by their honest lives.
    But those who aren’t faithful are destroyed by their lies.

³⁰ Whoever winks with their eye is planning to do wrong.
    Whoever closes their lips tightly is up to no good.

¹⁴ “It’s no good. It’s no good!” says a buyer.
    Then off they go and brag about what they bought.

²³ Warm words that come from an evil heart
    are like a shiny coating on a clay pot.

²⁴ Enemies use their words as a mask.
    They hide their evil plans in their hearts.
²⁵ Even though what they say can be charming, don’t believe them.
    That’s because seven things God hates fill that person’s heart.
²⁶ Their hatred can be hidden by lies.
    But their evil plans will be shown to everyone.
