Proverbs 6:12-15
International Children’s Bible
12 Some people are wicked and no good.
They go around telling lies.
13 They wink with their eyes and signal with their feet.
They make signs with their fingers.
14 They make evil plans in their hearts.
They are always causing trouble.
15 So trouble will strike them in an instant.
Suddenly they will be hurt beyond cure.
Proverbs 10:10-11
International Children’s Bible
10 A wink may get you into trouble.
And foolish talk will lead to your ruin.
11 Like a fountain of water, the words of a good person give life.
But the words of the wicked contain nothing but violence.
Proverbs 11:3
International Children’s Bible
3 Good people will be guided by honesty.
But dishonesty will destroy those who are not trustworthy.
Proverbs 16:30
International Children’s Bible
30 Someone who winks at you is planning evil.
And the one who grins at you is about to do something wrong.
Proverbs 20:14
International Children’s Bible
14 The buyer says, “This is bad. It’s no good.”
Then he goes away and brags about what he bought.
Proverbs 23:6-8
International Children’s Bible
6 Don’t eat the food of a selfish person.
Don’t be greedy for his fine foods.
7 A selfish person is always worrying
about how much the food costs.
He tells you, “Eat and drink.”
But he doesn’t really mean it.
8 So you will feel like throwing up the little bit you have eaten.
And you will have wasted your kind words.
Proverbs 26:23-26
International Children’s Bible
23 Kind words from a wicked mind
are like a shiny coating on a clay pot.
24 A person who hates you may fool you with his words.
But in his mind he is planning evil.
25 His words are kind, but don’t believe him.
His mind is full of evil thoughts.
26 He hides his hate with lies.
But his evil will be plain to everyone.
