Proverbs 6:10-17 English Standard Version (ESV)

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

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 that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him:

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