12. A worthless person, a wicked man, walks with a perverse mouth.

13. He winks with his eyes, he signals with his feet, he motions with his fingers;

14. Perversity is in his heart, he devises evil continually; he sows discord.

15. Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.

16. These six things does the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

17. A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

18. A heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that are swift in running to evil,

19. A false witness that speaks lies, and he that sows discord among brethren.

20. My son, keep your father's commandment, and forsake not the law of your mother:

21. Bind them continually upon your heart, and tie them about your neck.

22. When you go, it shall lead you; when you sleep, it shall keep you; and when you awake, it shall talk with you.

23. For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
