New Century Version

Proverbs 6:15-21 New Century Version (NCV)

15. So trouble will strike them in an instant;suddenly they will be so hurt no one can help them.

16. There are six things the Lord hates.There are seven things he cannot stand:

17. a proud look,a lying tongue,hands that kill innocent people,

18. a mind that thinks up evil plans,feet that are quick to do evil,

19. a witness who lies,and someone who starts arguments among families.

20. My son, keep your father’s commands,and don’t forget your mother’s teaching.

21. Keep their words in mind foreveras though you had them tied around your neck.
