Proverbs 6:12-22 (New Revised Standard)
View In My Bible
12
A scoundrel and a villain goes around with crooked speech,
13
winking the eyes, shuffling the feet, pointing the fingers,
14
with perverted mind devising evil, continually sowing discord;
15
on such a one calamity will descend suddenly; in a moment, damage beyond repair.
16
There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him:
17
haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18
a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that hurry to run to evil,
19
a lying witness who testifies falsely, and one who sows discord in a family.
20
My child, keep your father's commandment, and do not forsake your mother's teaching.
21
Bind them upon your heart always; tie them around your neck.
22
When you walk, they a will lead you; when you lie down, they b will watch over you; and when you awake, they c will talk with you.
