10. A little sleep, a little slumber,A little folding of the hands to sleep—
11. So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler,And your need like an armed man.
12. A worthless person, a wicked man,Walks with a perverse mouth;
13. He winks with his eyes,He shuffles his feet,He points with his fingers;
14. Perversity is in his heart,He devises evil continually,He sows discord.
15. Therefore his calamity shall come suddenly;Suddenly he shall be broken without remedy.
16. These six things the Lord hates,Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:
17. A proud look,A lying tongue,Hands that shed innocent blood,
18. A heart that devises wicked plans,Feet that are swift in running to evil,
19. A false witness who speaks lies,And one who sows discord among brethren.
20. My son, keep your father’s command,And do not forsake the law of your mother.
21. Bind them continually upon your heart;Tie them around your neck.
22. When you roam, they will lead you;When you sleep, they will keep you;And when you awake, they will speak with you.
