Holman Christian Standard Bible

Proverbs 6:13-22 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

13. winking his eyes, signaling with his feet,and gesturing with his fingers.

14. He always plots evil with perversity in his heart —he stirs up trouble.

15. Therefore calamity will strike him suddenly;he will be shattered instantly — beyond recovery.

16. The Lord hates six things;in fact, seven are detestable to Him:

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

18. a heart that plots wicked schemes, feet eager to run to evil,

19. a lying witness who gives false testimony, and one who stirs up trouble among brothers.

20. My son, keep your father’s command,and don’t reject your mother’s teaching.

21. Always bind them to your heart;tie them around your neck.

22. When you walk here and there, they will guide you;when you lie down, they will watch over you;when you wake up, they will talk to you.
