Proverbs 6:12-15
Revised Standard Version
12 A worthless person, a wicked man,
goes about with crooked speech,
13 winks with his eyes, scrapes[a] with his feet,
points with his finger,
14 with perverted heart devises evil,
continually sowing discord;
15 therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly;
in a moment he will be broken beyond healing.
