Proverbs 6:10-20 God's Word Translation (GW)

10. “Just a little sleep,just a little slumber,just a little nap.”

11. Then your poverty will come ⌊to you⌋ like a drifter,and your need will come ⌊to you⌋ like a bandit.

12. A good-for-nothing scoundrel is a person who has a dishonest mouth.

13. He winks his eye,makes a signal with his foot,⌊and⌋ points with his fingers.

14. He devises evil all the time with a twisted mind.He spreads conflict.

15. That is why disaster will come on him suddenly.In a moment he will be crushed beyond recovery.

16. There are six things that the Lord hates,even seven that are disgusting to him:

17. arrogant eyes,a lying tongue,hands that kill innocent people,

18. a mind devising wicked plans,feet that are quick to do wrong,

19. a dishonest witness spitting out lies,and a person who spreads conflict among relatives.

20. My son,obey the command of your father,and do not disregard the teachings of your mother.
