Proverbs 6:11-21

New Revised Standard NRS

11 and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want, like an armed warrior.

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.

New International Version NIV

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.

21 Bind them always on your heart; fasten them around your neck.
