Proverbs 6:13

Words and speech

11 and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and need like a bandit.

12 A worthless person, a wicked man, walks with a perverse mouth,

winking his eyes, speaking with his feet, and pointing with his fingers.

14 With deceit in his heart he devises evil; he continually sows discord.

15 Therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly; in an instant he will be shattered beyond recovery.
