Proverbs 6:12-23

1. 12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.

2. 13 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;

3. 14 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.

4. 15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.

5. 16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

6. 17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

7. 18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

8. 19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

9. 20 My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

10. 21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.

11. 22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

12. 23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
