Proverbs 6:12-19 New International Version (NIV)

¹² A troublemaker and a villain,
    who goes about with a corrupt mouth,
¹³     who winks maliciously with his eye,
    signals with his feet
    and motions with his fingers,
¹⁴     who plots evil with deceit in his heart—
    he always stirs up conflict.
¹⁵ Therefore disaster will overtake him in an instant;
    he will suddenly be destroyed—without remedy.

¹⁶ There are six things the Lord hates,
    seven that are detestable to him:
¹⁷         haughty eyes,
        a lying tongue,
        hands that shed innocent blood,
¹⁸         a heart that devises wicked schemes,
        feet that are quick to rush into evil,
¹⁹         a false witness who pours out lies
        and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
