¹²A ^(A)worthless person, a wicked man,

¹³Who ^(C)winks with his eyes, who ^[a]signals with his feet,
Who ^[b]points with his fingers;
¹⁴Who, with ^(D)perversion in his heart, continually ^(E)devises evil,
Who ^[c]^(F)spreads strife.

Proverbs 6:12-15

New Living Translation

¹²What are worthless and wicked people like?
    They are constant liars,
¹³signaling their deceit with a wink of the eye,
    a nudge of the foot, or the wiggle of fingers.
¹⁴Their perverted hearts plot evil,
    and they constantly stir up trouble.
¹⁵But they will be destroyed suddenly,
    broken in an instant beyond all hope of healing.
