Proverbs 6:11-21 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

11. So shall thy poverty come as a robber, and thy want as an armed man.

12. A worthless person, a man of iniquity; he walketh with a froward mouth;

13. He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he maketh signs with his fingers;

14. Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth evil continually; he soweth discord.

15. Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; on a sudden shall he be broken and that without remedy.

16. There be six things which the Lord hateth; yea, seven which are an abomination unto him:

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

18. An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief;

19. A false witness that uttereth lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

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

21. Bind them continually upon thine heart, tie them about thy neck.
