Proverbs 6:10-20

Revised Standard Version RSV

10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,

11 and poverty will come upon you like a vagabond, and want like an armed man.

12 A worthless person, a wicked man, goes about with crooked speech,

13 winks with his eyes, scrapes 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.

16 There are six things which the LORD hates, seven which 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 make haste to run to evil,

19 a false witness who breathes out lies, and a man who sows discord among brothers.

20 My son, keep your father's commandment, and forsake not your mother's teaching.

New International Version NIV

10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—

11 and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man.

12 A troublemaker and a villain, who goes about with a corrupt mouth,

13 who winks maliciously with his eye, signals with his feet and motions with his fingers,

14 who plots evil with deceit in his heart— he always stirs up conflict.

15 Therefore disaster will overtake him in an instant; he will suddenly be destroyed—without remedy.

16 There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him:

17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,

18 a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil,

19 a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.

20 My son, keep your father’s command and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.
